Singer-songwriter Justin Nozuka questions his lover's devotion in his latest single "Golden Train" from debut album Holly. "But tomorrow if a golden train comes to take you away," he coos, "would you go or would you stay?" I'm not sure why the überly-talented artist would bother posing such a no-brainer question. I mean, who wouldn't choose Justin Nozuka over some golden, magical train that'll probably only come once in a lifetime? Sure, you'd go along a mythological ride through some romantic paradise, but couldn't you get the same sensation from one of Nozuka's songs? "Golden Train" starts as a whisperous lullaby with only Nozuka's soothing vocals and a calm, acoustic guitar in the background. He goes into a rougher (yet strikingly sentimental) guitar picking style during the middle of the piece, increasing his tempo and adding country western elements to give the song a clap-along feel. Nozuka delivers what could potentially be the strongest effort from his debut CD in "Golden Train". The lush, warm harmony of voice and guitar throughout the song is sure to delight viewers of the popular VH1 Top 20 countdown show where Nozuka's songs are frequently spotlighted.
