Right, let’s kick off by stating that I apologise for the lack of activity and posts. I have been busy with university work that frankly should have been done a while ago. However, good news is that I am going to jam to Swim Deep this Saturday!
Moving on to more important matters, new music and new talent. Let’s be honest and state that music these days is a bit disappointing and you get the occasional gem in between. It’s really heart breaking that Jamie Isaac is not widely recognised. I can say with my hand on my heart his music always gives me goose bumps.
I fell in love the experimental and mellow beats from the first instant I listened to I Will Be Cold Soon in 2013. In March Isaac released Blue Break but back in that month I didn’t have a blog to share the love. It’s never too late! This EP is beautifully crafted and written. The uniqueness and haunting vocals of Isaac is perfect for late night listening. The gentle piano led EP battles with brash beats in each song but yet effortlessly remains so hypnotic and majestic. It is packed full of emotions that powers through the calm ambience.
My favourite out of the EP is Mother’s Love Don’t Stretch; it is a mix of jazz and RNB. The song is haunting but so tender that it’s infectious beat and piano leaves you in peaceful state. The guitar riffs are what make the song to me, ending with a bittersweet note. Like the title states Jamie Isaac deserves more recognition.
