I've only heard the song 'Heartbeats' and I'm wondering if anyone has heard the rest of the album and can tell me wether its worth buying. I don't usually like to buy an album on the strength of one song.
it is fairly good but don't be swayed by 'heartbeats', it's a great song true but that's due to swedish odd balls the knife whose track it is and whose album i can recommend (deep cuts). the rest of josé's album is as you'd expect, pleasant and ultimately listenable folk for those of the i-pod generation, 7.5/10 i'd say
now i feel i've done him an injustice, it is pretty good but it's not fabulous. and more importantly not all as good as heartbeats (although some is)
It's a beautiful album. Not very variated, and not something exceptional, but it's a nice album to listen to, and there are some really good songs on it.
I'm with Rob above...a good album,but Heartbeats is the standout track for me...the rest of the album carries you along ncely,it's melodic and easy but.................... There is a way to 'test' the tracks..you could download via bit torrent,just to see what you think before buying it
yeah I think I would have only got it if there were songs on it as good as 'Heartbeats' but thats cool, Im sure I can pick up the single somewhere.
this isnt a bad thing but whenever i hear him it makes me sleepy! because its calming-not boring! argh im confusing my self
