JAMIE HAMILTON – SINGLE REVIEW


Jamie Hamilton – Letters to a Younger You
Jamie Hamilton - Letters to a Younger You
(Sunbird Records)

Release Date: Out Now

Unassuming talent Jamie Hamilton is back with new single ‘Letters to a Younger You’ and it is a real oasis of calm in an otherwise tumultuous world. Hamilton’s skill lies in the subtlety of his tones and the skittish nature of his beats which combine to create these dreamy soundscapes atop which he can nervously yet charmingly deliver his lyrics. The sensitivity of the writing combined with the wide vistas of the arrangement puts me in mind of Jamie Yost or Drakes Island as part of a growing movement in which artists take their time and are only restricted by the size and shape of their imaginations and ambitions. In fact, ‘quietly ambitious’ is probably a good way to describe this music and I’m pretty sure it was a phrase used in a school report I had back along.
