Review by Peter Bright (of the band This Window and SystemCulture.org


There are hundreds of singer songwriters, who strum a guitar, sing out of tune and sound crap. From the first discordant chord to the last flat note, you want to dive under the table and cringe. There are those people who subscribe to the X Factor viewpoint and find the humiliation of untalented people as good sport, personally I find it a cheap trick. Artists (and wannabees) who place their music on line also run the risk of being laughed at and ridiculed. The talentless remain untalented and the creative and gifted, hopefully succeed.

Maddie Jones need not worry, her songs are lyrically strong and her voice has enough colour and warmth to fill in the whole picture. Empty/Full (Demo)' and 'Dirty Little Secret' - listen to the words... isn't love a tough cookie.

All the tracks are recorded in a rough and ready style, which makes them honest and truthful - excellent.

 

Maddie appears on Episode 3 of Season 3 of the podcast promoting unsigned talent. Listen to the interview and 2 live tracks at unsignedfinds.podomatic.com
