Play 90 second soundbite of 'Dive With Me' @ 'CD quality'
Big balladic songs, great lyrics, superb musicianship and excellent production all make 'Six Hours' a 'must have' work.
Soudah seems to specialise in hauntingly melodic verses and big hooky choruses and his, often breathy, vocal delivery and intonation make this wonderfully easy work to take in. Soudah also has the good sense to surround himself with a great bunch of similarly dextrous and emotionally charged musicians who don't just play with sympathy but empathy. The end result is pretty stunning!
Soudah is an amazing keyboard specialist and with his gentle but precise playing he enhances his songs with great feeling; Soudah lets the gaps, the silence, work just as strongly for the songs as the beautifully proportioned notes - very classy, very professional! 'Six Hours' has everything going for it and has a pretty much 'timeless' feel. 'Dive With Me', 'Six Hours', 'Wallowing', 'Roses' and 'Breaking' make up this exquisite work and one thing's for sure, Jason Soudah cannot be accused of simply 'wallowing' in his own little musical world - Soudah's songs are accessible, meaningful, tangible and definitely radio friendly. I can see no reason at all why Jason Soudah shouldn't become a household name with his beautiful songs and stunning presentation.
'Six Hours' by Jason Soudah is a superb mini album - I don't know why he stopped at just five songs - maybe time constraints, maybe financial considerations, maybe both but, I bet you this guy's got a shed load of similarly classy songs in his repertoire - look out for Jason Soudah, I think he'll be getting plenty of air-play based on this excellent offering.
