Play 90 second soundbite of 'Sideways' @ 'CD quality'
Young Mr.Isaac, and he is still relatively young to be writing songs to this level of sophistication, has a natural, creative ability when it comes to lyrics and melody. Musically, Isaac seems to be toying with a few more up-tempo things and pretty much getting it right. 'Sticker, Star & Tape' contains more variation than previous releases I've heard as Isaac mixes it up a bit. I had envisioned Sam Isaac becoming a mournful songsmith - pouring out deep, wordy and lengthy works that tug at the heart strings, but he's now proving that he's not a one-trick-pony. In earlier days I felt Isaac would be more of a follower of acoustic fashion - he's not! As an all-round musician Sam Isaac is maturing nicely, he's finding his own way and expressing himself even better that I thought he would. He keeps his songs concise, to the point and never seems to drift off into self-indulgence. Sam Isaac has more about him than that and 'Sticker, Star & Tape' may just be the springboard he needs to move him on and up.
Although he calls this a mini-album, there's still nine excellent tracks to admire and indulge in; what should we expect if he releases a full-blown album? The mind boggles!! 'Sticker, Star & Tape' from Sam Isaac is superb - again! Clever, appealing, mature and scarily, still learning and improving! Impressed? I am, you should be and hopefully thousands will be because, quite simply, Sam Isaac deserves success!
