And so, as the clock ticks down on Iona’s Song of the Week 2024, we come to week number 23 of Part Two (or 49 in total)! Our choice this week comes from an American Artist we first encountered on his 2017 LP Big Bad Luv, his seventh ‘outing’ since his 2008 debut. The 39-year-old, from Longview, Texas, has also recently released his tenth LP and we continue to enjoy his music.
This song is track four, side one and is called Love is Not an Answer and is quite typical of his style with a slow build up to a rolling beat over which his distinctive voice lays the lyrics. And all the while the piano builds to a lovely, simple solo, joined by the organ and guitar.
Fabulous tune
