It certainly seems that my blog is getting some interesting CDs and downloads of some music lately and this latest addition to land in my mailbox is from 18-year-old Oxford-based singer-songwriter Adam Barnes.
Adam has a wonderful voice and one which flows wonderfully with the acoustic instruments that accompany him on this six track EP. This release has a wonderful overtone of folk-pop and for anyone that is looking for something that has such a wonderful collection of well-written lyrics and well-produced music, then you can’t really go wrong.
I do have a range of musical tastes, but, since doing some of these music reviews here on Blazing Minds, I have discovered some genres that I may not have listened to before and this EP would probably have been one, or maybe not 😉
This has been one of those music reviews where I’ve enjoyed every single track on the Blisters EP, right the first track “Old Shoes” through “Come Undone” and then the up-tempo “If I Was A Lonely Man” slowing down for “We Can Only Sleep“, then a change for “Procession” and finally finishing off the EP with the track “Lighthouse“.
The Blisters EP is very well put together and is very enjoyable to listen to, it is certainly one of those EPs that I could listen to over and over again, it’s quite inspiring to know that in this musical world of computer composed music that there is still room for wonderfully written music that has heart to it and this is one of those releases. I’ve really enjoyed listening to Adam Barnes for this music review and I think you may enjoy it as well.
You can check out Adam Barnes on his official website as well as on Twitter @mradambarnes, Facebook, MySpace and Tumblr. Also, you can get your hands on the Blisters EP from BandCamp and iTunes.
