Keisha White – Watcha gonna do – Open Like so –
Hi Jinx – Don’t care who knows – K Day http://www.keishawhite.co.uk/kw.html
The buzz surrounding this was such that I was
looking forward to hearing this.
Unfortunately the key cut Watcha gonna do was such a turn off for me
(it’s the rock guitar!) that I hope it doesn’t taint any objectively. Fortunately it picks up on – Open
Like so – which allows Keisha’s voice to come through and control the track a
bit better. Despite being so young
she has a whole heap going for her and the start of her career couldn’t really
be better,mixing and showcasing with some great contemporary people. Suggest you read the bio at her
website.
Hi Jinx is the kind of track that gets so big
these days yet it’s pretty faceless R’n’b with a Spanish lilt.
Don’t care who knows is a nice ballad, kind of
along the lines of say Alicia, and is probably the pick of these to cuts. Tracks like this suggest that she’s
going to be Ok, and could have an appeal to a pretty diverse audience. Back to where we started with K Day I’m
afraid. Hope she gets her
direction right!
2 Play – It can’t be right – 2PSL/Inferno
Very poppy and getting big playlisting as you
would expect following the success of the previous hit. Utilising hot UK acts Naila Boss and Raghav, whose voice is very sweet and
lends itself to this lightweight reggae, popular club kind of thing. I’m afraid it’s not hard enough for me,
even on the dancehall mix, but it’s summery dancey and it will be huge.
