Well I saw this guy live a few months ago supporting Elton John, and i thought he was ok, and I bought the album not expecting much. How i was shocked to find its actually brilliant, indeed tracks 2-7 are all incredible songs, taking on a kinda soft acoustic rock style, with the artists voice being memorable and enjoyable to listen to. Tracks 8 & 9 are kinda dull, missing the great melodies of the previous songs, and the first track and 'lead single' High is not really that great. But 'Goodbye my lover' is one of the best ballads i've heard in a longggg time, and 'Wiseman' & 'Tears and Rain' are fantastic 70's pop revisited in a modern environment. I really recommend this album, if theres any justice in the world this guy will make it all the way to the top!
Overall 9/10
