***** This is a really good album. What stands out for me is the songwriting, he really knows how to pull out and show emotion, relying heavily on the lyrics and the voice as opposed to the moodiness of the beat or backing music. There are a few moody atmospheric tracks but his songwriting is what really stands out here.
He has a pretty good voice, but I wish we could hear more of it to be honest because at times it sounds like the instruments take over. I mean, I guess he's that type of artist but I've always liked vocal music adn that's the only thing that holds it back from a six for me. The standout track for me here is Pitseleh, although several of them are 5* worthy. |
