His second effort "Downtown Exit" is slightly more mainstream, with an excellent mix of light rock, latin spirit, and unique lyrics.

An amazing cover from this album, "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush is probably his most well known work, but is unfortunate as his self penned work is indeed far better. With airplay from Jools Holland and admiration from the likes of Jamie Cullum, Nilands’ flagship of original songwriting looks set to continue to attract international attention.
