When Canadian singer/songwriter
Bobby Bazini released his first full-length album
Better in Time in 2009, he was only 20. By that time, his debut single "I Wonder" had already spent nine consecutive weeks atop Quebec English single charts.
Bazini's brand of emotional, earnest, singer/songwriter pop, hugely influenced by classic soul and blues artists, struck a chord with Canadian audiences, and the debut record was certified platinum. Warner Bros. later picked up the album for distribution in 28 countries.
