Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting (Album Review)

I had owned Jamie Woon’s debut, 'Mirrowriting', a matter of hours and had listened to it only twice, when it became the ignition of an argument between a close friend and I. Not only did I passingly use the term ‘post-dub’ (which on refelection was slightly stupid, as it shows that The NME may actually have an effect on my life. And no one wants that do they?), I also compared Woon to namesake Blake. Apparently this was a most heinous of crimes. Sure, the comparison is an obvious one, but its apparentness does not make it void.

Osmo - Heaven & Hell Is Just A State Of Mind (Album Review)

When your first ever UK date isn’t in some seedy pub somewhere in Camden, or in your best friends back garden, or at a birthday party, but in the official London residence of the Finnish Ambassador, you know you’ve got one hell of a career in front of you. This album, Osmo's second, but first released in this country, is described as a “cool slice of soulful pop”, which I have to disagree with to an extent. That description gives you the impression that the album’s going to sound like twelve different versions of Adele's ‘Rolling in the Deep’ (which, I must add, is an utterly ace song) but that isn’t quite the case. I would describe the general taste as a cross between swing, jazz, funk with a hint of a Latin influence all mixed together with a radio-friendly pop icing on top. This is inoffensive jolly nonchalance that gets parts of it right, and parts of it way off the mark.
