Lewis Taylor: yet another reason to miss London

This week’s Morning Becomes Eclectic features London-based Lewis Taylor, a jazzy souly crooner of sexy songs and beautiful rhythms. He reminds me of Prince and Jamiroquoi, and in some respects, are better than both (better than Prince? is this possible?). His lyrics are HAWWWWT. And his voice is gorgeous.

Sadly, he hasn’t made it into the U.S. main stream, and so most of his albums are priced at spendy import prices. (Someone in the UK wanna hook me up? wink! wink!) But KCRW’s podcast is almost just as good. The interview is quite charming, as well.

Some reviews that should make you want to listen to Lewis Taylor RIGHT NOW:

The Guardian: “Taylor… can transform one man’s world-weariness into his own anthem, His time cannot be far away”

The Times: “Here’s a bloke with an abundance of talent…dazzling us with his cerebral, convoluted chord structures…made all the more impressive when you realise that he played every instrument and wrote all its songs.” Album of the Week

Time Out: “This is the soundtrack of sun, ice cream and bronzed bodies. Smooth.”
