Music Review: Jeremy Jay’s Slow Dance
My review of Jeremy Jay’s new album Slow Dance has just been published online at RTR FM. You can read it here. Here is a teaser:
Jeremy Jay – Slow Dance:
With a David Bowie like sense for knowing the exact aural impact of words and a Pulp like feel for pop beats, you will love Jeremy Jay’s Slow Dance. It is new wave, but it is also mellow lounge like electro pop. The lyrics can often surprise you as Jay doesn’t aim for a story but instead for the images the words conjure up and how they sound…

Cheers, Marisa.

The music they have out there now days you can’t understand what they are saying, let alone even dance to it.
Please, can you PM me and tell me few more thinks about this, I am really fan of your blog…
For me, Jeremy Jay’s music is romantic and enchanting. The lyrics are rich with dreamy, storybook imagery and Jay’s vocal style has an ethereal feel. The songs have an incredible sense of wonder and innocence without any cynicism or bitterness, yet, there is an irresistible romance without the overt sexuality of so much of today’s music. I am hopelessly hooked.
So am I. It doesn’t hurt that he is absolutely totally cute.
Too young for me though probably.
