ALBUM REVIEW: Jack Garrett - Love, Death and Dancing

Album Review
Written By Tyler

New album from Jack Garrett - Love, Death and Dancing - Out 12 June

A contemporary artist on the ascending, this is a good album with electronica, synths,and melody that instantly install in your mind giving you an ear worm for the day. There are hints of Craig David and Elle Gouldings with lyrics telling stories as well as catchy melodies.

Not to be confused with bubblegum pop, this is a well crafted and well put together album. There are some songs that are purely album tracks and should remain so, not that they’re bad songs but in my opinion they are not commercial enough for radio play. Others though are stand out singles.

This is not my preference of music genre but found it a delightful diversion from my usual listening of mainly guitar based bands.

To sum up, Jack Garrett has a great voice, great arrangements of good songs by a very talented artist.

Highlights:

Time

Mara

Mend a heart

Better


Score: 4 out of 5

Tyler

Hey there! I'm Tyler, 19 and outside of writing for CRB I'm an SEO & CMS Executive at a car leasing company. Lot of boring web development stuff basically!

If you've taken a peek at my 5 songs for the month at any point you can probably guess my taste in media is all over the place, but if there's anything that's my favourite it's probably Star Trek. My favourite genre overall is probably New Wave but I listen to pretty much anything that gets thrown my way.

On a weekend you'll probably find me watching F1 and hopefully covering some more gigs in the near future, I've done some journalism stuff outside of CRB but most of my writing is creative work or last minute page content for a new car model. I'm based in Wakefield primarily but Leeds is only a train away when they're not striking.
