Set It Free

Jont

Unlit Records

8/10

Heart Warming Singer-Songwriter who touches the right buttons and spoils you with his talent.

SET IT FREE is a breath of fresh air...
An album by a singer songwriter that is not self absorbed or maudlin or full of woe-is-me lyrical tangents that make you want to unload spud-guns  into your own eyes... An album full of optimistic and wonderment and  - dear God, JOY?

When the fuck did we get out of the pompous, self indulgent rutt we've lived in for the last five years?

This is the sound Coldplay would be making were they to rename themselves "Warmplay" and just look in their bank accounts and realised they have fuck all the be miserable about... 
Happy-go-lucky music sung with warmth and feeling and a smile half cocked at the corner of the mouth - and eyes that glisten with charm and mischief...

Jont, our artist, see sthe world not so much with rose-tinted glasses, but with a pragmatic lived in feeling of trancendental accpetance that the world is dark and miserable and awful - but we can change it and make the place better... One damned song at a time...

Its nice to hear happy in music again...
Maybe we have turned a corner and escpaed the hour of misery in choruses, and we can finally embrace the smiles that should come with all musical adventures...

If so, i nominate GET SO LOW and SIMPLES LIFE as the anthem for the new movement of GET OF YOUR ARSE AND BOOGIE... 
And Jont for Prime Minister.

It certainly beats the alternative...

Sunshine, my darlings, Musical fucking sunshine...

Andi James Chamberlain
