Having heard Newton's song 'I need something' on radio 1's Jo Wiley's show several months ago, I immediatly went to his myspace page and listened to some of his tracks. I was instantly spell bound with his intricate guitar riffs and haunting melodies and so moved straight over to i tunes to try and buy some of his stuff. At the time, only his EP was available so i promptly downloaded and instantly became addicted. Now a few months on i have downloaded this wonderful album and have once again been bowled over by it's brilliance. What is even nicer is that the album has gone to number one, an amazing achievment, although not suprising once you have listened to it.
Newton is vlearly an amazing new talent, not only in song writting, but also in his musicianship and in his voice.
The album has a variety of tracks from the light hearted 'full fat' to the more serious 'dream catch me', but is also broken up with the most beautiful short instrcumental tracks which really show case his musicianship.
Aparantly this guy is amazing live, and I will be trying to get myself along to see him soon. I do have a recording of his version of sponge bob and also jungle bob, which are completley hysterical. I am told he is really funny on stage.
This album is a definate must have, please check it out you won't be disapointed.
