Free Single Of The Week: Fried
James Oakwood
0 comments 10 May 2007
It's a wee bit later than usual this week, but we suspect that this iTunes Store Free Single Of The Week was more than worth waiting for.
Those of you old enough to remember the Fine Young Cannibals, will remember the usual vocal style of the lead singer and also, quite possibly, the rubber-legged guitarist and lead songwriter, David Steele.
Fried is his first major project since FYC split and all the indications are there that it’s got potential, despite the (in our humble opinion) slightly iffy name.
Teaming up with Jonte Short, a young gospel singer from New Orleans, Steele has created an RnB album that sounds both fresh and exciting, yet also brooding and ancient. The influences are obvious (60s soul, modern RnB), but it’s the way that it’s been packaged that gives it some originality and interest.
