Play 90 second soundbite of 'It'll Be Soon' @ 'CD quality'
Certainly, 'It'll Be Soon' is an uplifting sounding works that's cries quality and Tedder's performance is melodic precision personified; it's awesome production allows the listener to get to grips with the man's lyrics even allowing for the 'big' orchestral arrangement over slightly fuzzy guitar that gives this work a massive presence. 'It'll Be Soon' has the feel of a 'modern classic' about it. It's almost anthemic structure pulls the listener gently in without the use of undue force. It's a cleverly worked track to sit and enjoy.
'Eastern Girls' is almost totally juxtaposed to the first track. Much more raunchy but equally addictive it's a bit of a musical rollercoaster ride that creeps up on you without you realising it - a worker!
As a songwriter, Adam Tedder seems to have it down to a fine art. Vocally there's something very appealing in the man's voice and if the credits are anything to go by he can certainly play (piano, guitars, bass and keyboards!). A very talented all-rounder by the look of it!
It'll be interesting to see just how this pans out as a download release; it does seem that right now it's almost easier to gain recognition via the internet than it is through the 'old school' method which includes the tedium and pitfalls of promotion and almost uncontrollable rigours of hard, cash sales from retailers. Artistically, Tedder has everything nicely in place - now it's down to networking to see how it develops. Good luck is what I say!
