The Kooks – Inside In/Inside Out

Published on January 3, 2007, in Albums & Artists.

the-kooks

The Kooks are a group of fresh faced Englishmen who decided to explore the endless possibilities of music rather than painting themselves into a corner. The album, Inside In/Inside Out, is like a delicious bag of mixed nuts…you never know what you are about to taste. With endearing accents, the ability to write their own songs and tunes ranging from rock & pop to reggae, The Kooks are a musical force to be reckoned with.

Perhaps it’s the mischievous demeanor pulsating through Inside In/Inside Out that makes is so appealing. Or maybe it’s because The Kooks were not afraid to marry various sounds and wound up creating a perfect relationship of contagious hooks and a refreshing willingness to deviate from the mundane. Stand Out Tracks: Ooh La, Naïve, Matchbox…

Joshua Radin – We Were Here

Published on December 26, 2006, in Albums & Artists.

joshua-radin

Music can be an antagonist as well as a profound indicator for certain feelings and emotional states. Joshua Radin’s music reflects the theory behind that age-old question, What came first, the chicken or the egg. Does Joshua Radin’s album We Were Here create a mellow mood of deep pondering and mind drifting or do people select this album because they need translatable tunes to accompany them on their spaced out contemplations?

Joshua Radin’s album We Were Here is simple, uncomplicated and beautiful. With its lower leveled volume and eerily familiar notions that are expressed through storytelling styled lyrics, We Were Here is like a cool breeze on a sunny day. Joshua Radin’s sound is delicate and romantically sad, while his voice is undeniable entrancing. This album is a musical journal. Stand Out Tracks: Star Mile, These Photographs, Closer

Razorlight release self-titled debut

Published on December 5, 2006, in Albums & Artists.

The MUSiC SNiTCH CD player has developed an addiction to Razorlight’s latest album and I just don’t have the heart to separate them. Razorlight’s self-titled album is a heavenly slice of brit-rock. This is a pure album, no tricks, it’s just 4 fellas creating awesome music. Although the vocals and arrangements are a throw back to great pop-rock music of the past, Razorlight maintains an invigorating youthfulness.

Johnny’s beautifully true voice is accompanied perfectly with their stripped sound. The songs on this album are like mini-stories you can move to. Razorlight’s latest album is tight from start to finish and pulsating with a cool retro vibe. Stand Out Tracks: In The Morning, Los Angeles Waltz, Who Needs Love, America

Published on November 26, 2006, in Albums & Artists.

From the very first moment Paolo Nutini’s alluringly raspy voice seeped through my headphones, it was obvious that he is one of the brightest rays on the horizon of music. Although his voice sounds like it has walked a thousand miles picking up a life-time of wisdom, this youthful yet soulful Scottish lad is just getting started. Listening to his, Live Sessions EP, it is almost bewildering to think that a voice with such minimal instrumental backings can be so powerful.

As a both a singer and songwriter, Paolo Nutini has the effortless ability to persuade the listener to get involved with his musical storyline. Whether the song is filled with funky beats that automatically make your foot start to tap or a soulful plea backed with slowly paced strokes, the Live Sessions EP provides an effective glimpse into Paolo Nutini’s future. Stand Out Tracks: Jenny Don’t Be Hasty, Last Request, New Shoes
