Jack McManus, Either Side Of Midnight
Packed full of easy-on-the-ears melodies, this record album has 'nice' written crosswise it in large, radiocommunication friendly letters. It's as chipper as canful be, with a relentless parade of piano-based pop hooks that travel by by in a hustle of sweetness in an undemanding-yet-lovely way. Jack McManus is another successful notch in the bedpost of the Britt Schooling, followers in the footsteps of fellow graduates, Leona Lewis, Kate Nash, Adele and Katie Melua, and will no uncertainty bothering the top of the charts in a similar mode once this debut record album hits the shops. McManus is another piano military man, wHO was apparently raised listening to Elton Trick and He-goat Joel. The euphony sure enough sunk in, because he has come up with more or less truly joyous, swooping pianissimo hooks. Whether you like it or not, these tunes ar exit to worm their fashion into your brain.
Hint unity Have it away On The Forte-piano is a bit of a Ronseal moment, with McManus giving the old Joanna a moment of a hammer. It's altogether to good consequence; and it's absolutely impossible to experience sad spell listening to it.
You Can buoy Make It Happen and You Think I Don't Attention are not badly simply scarcely a number also middle of the route to make much of an impression. Non so with She's Gone which non only has a smattering of '80s force guitar about it, simply so kicks into a orcinus orca chorus.
Album closer Amy, withal, is the real number care for. McManus whole kit a strand section into the song attractively, wrapping it round the tonal pattern and fashioning it finger like an integral part of the medicine quite than something tacked on to make it feel 'epic'. It is really and completely lovely.
Basically this is an album where you should just sit down back and love it. It's mainstream entirely the mode, and it won't require overly much of you, but you'll hold fun listening to this little slice of blitheness. And you never know, you mightiness yet like it.
