Could Bright Light Bright Light (check the v clever myspace address when you click there) be the evolution of 2009's never-quite-took-off-but-labels-are-still-banging-them-out-androgynous-electro-pop-boys?It's not overtly synth based, and he has a very lovely unaffected voice (bloody hell that was a bit talent show judge gushy). Yet there are a decent sprinkling of drum loops and twinkly effects to elevate it beyond singer songwriter territory. This boy should really get in touch with Starsmith.
Remember Sugababes Push The Button? Remember how it had something 'magic' in it. The magic thing which we couldn't quite put our finger on, but it made us fall in love with the track. Well pretty much every BLBL track has that 'magic' feeling. We can't quite put our finger(s) on what is wonderful, but there it is floating into our ears and being just wonderful. Wonderful.
He's playing Be @ Proud (sorry non-London folk for an irrelevant gig date) next Saturday. We're going to corner him and find out exactly how many times he has watched Gremlins.
