Xtended.Dance
Thomas' latest release, Xtended.Dance is an electronica dance album evocative of ancient dance rituals around the globe. Thomas launched the album in August 2008 in Ibiza, Spain where it was very favourably received, particularly the first single released Pump Up The Love.
“Pump Up the Love is a lyrical answer to the questions raised by such movies as What the Bleep!? and The Secret – the power of creation starts in your mind,” states Donovan.
Calling Around the World
Electrifying. Inspirational. Dynamic. A lot of songs make statements — Thomas Donovan's Calling Around The World demands that people listen. Dynamic satellite imagery and skeletal animations deliver the compelling message of 'Calling Around the World,' a track inspired by concern for environmental issues and the greater human condition. Calling Around the World is a lyrical and visual call to action, as featured on Canada’s MuchMusic and showcased on Earth Day, Grinning Planet, PeacePlease as well as globally conscious video channels around the world.
The Lonely Show
Thomas’ 2006 release, The Lonely Show is a techno-neon music experience where mirror balls reflect the inner workings of a master lyricist and digital recording artist. The Lonely Show is powered by high-tech digital sounds, tempered with Thomas’ subtle voice. The tracks are compelling, at times sad and reflective, at others intense, but always lyrical, allowing the listener to experience the sonic waves of a nouveau electronica pop journey. Vancouver City TV showcases Thomas song Trapped from the Lonely Show.
Currently featured on CBC Radio3, is the 2009 electro-house remix of Thomas Donovan's hit, THIS TIME I FEEL IT produced by the talented UK producer/deejay, Ellektra. 'This Time I feel it' was originally on The Lonely Show CD and was first produced with a much more adult contemporary arrangement. The song was a favorite on many mainstream radio stations.
Thomas released his debut album, Digital Dreams, in 1993 and his second album, Trance, in 1995. Every track on both CD's received favourable radio rotation. Thomas' greatest hits to date are High Time, Colorcode, Yesterday's Dream, She'll Do What She Wants, Dontcha Go Back and the highly successful, All We Need For Christmas. Thomas' debut single back in 1993 was Total Controller. His third album One Moment to Fly, generated airplay across North America, Europe and abroad. Make Me Want You and Je Veux both topped the charts in club circuits and on internet radio stations.
Lending themselves very well to sound tracks and television, several of Thomas’ songs have been featured on TV programs. The track, I Like It, also from One Moment to Fly, was featured on the syndicated TV series, Highlander. To date, his tracks are featured on eight dance compilation CDs released in North America.
Thomas developed an interest in music at an early age by collecting hundreds of singles and mastering them by ear on the piano. Thereafter, music and life were synonymous as he discovered he could bring his own musical ideas to light. His work is heavily influenced by European and British contemporary pop which are reflected in his own music. Thomas enjoys many styles of music, but his favourites reflect a modern dance beat and electronic synth arrangements.
