Duncan Sheik’s monster hit “Barely Breathing” was, and is, so infectious that I must have listened to it 25 times while writing this article. The song, along with so much of his work from the ’90s, really strikes a chord with my Gen X soul; it’s a reminder of that moment when we twentysomethings really did think that authenticity would rule the world — or at least the music business. Fascinating to see how a supposed “one-hit wonder” had such a groundbreaking and illustrious second act on Broadway.
