| Joe Dolman - Something Beautiful |
Release Date: Out Now
There are, like all coins, two
sides to this track from 20 year old singer songwriter Joe Dolman. On the one
hand, ‘Something Beautiful’ fits all too firmly in to the Ed Sheeran, James Bay
and Jamie Lawson category of tunes which is offensively inoffensive. This is so
ready for heavy BBC Radio 2 rotation and maybe use on a montage in some popular
TV show E4 that it feels a little contrived – it only avoids being ‘Galway
Girl’ by a couple of chords. However, flip that coin over and what you’ve got
is a young, independent songwriter with a strong, smooth voice and the ability
to knock out a chorus that earworms in to your subconscious after one listen.
Now, depending on your levels of cynicism and snobbishness I’ll leave it up to
you as whether you want to hear this as a heads or tails track but I’m going to
keep flipping the coin until the next track comes out and then I’ll make my
call.
