Autor: Branimir Lokner

Jamie Kent je mlađani autor iz Massacussetsa, USA, čija karijera traje već neko vreme, i nije bez rezultata, čak šta više mnogi specijalizovani mediji ga tretiraju kao osobu pred kojom je respektabilna budućnost. “Navigation” je njegovo drugo po redu ostvarenje, na kojem se našlo 11 numera. Jamie je singer / songwriter, tekstovi i teme su vrlo lične, piše o događajima provedenim na putu i turnejama sa bendom. Ljubavna i životna iskustva su njegov “saputnik”, a iza sebe ima izuzetno usviran bend kojeg čine vrsni profesionalci. U muzičkom smislu Jamie kombinuje elemente folkie, acoustic, pop, country pravca, koji takođe imaju sudeći
po sviračkoj dimenziji funk i jazzy priključak. Wes Talbot je uradio više nego dobar posao kao producent, a sa svoje strane preporučio bih dve numere, koje mi se čine interesantnijima od ostatka materijala – “Hold On” i neobičnu, ali uspešnu obradu Eddy Grant songa “Drop Baby Drop”.

Ocena: 8 / 10

Jamie Kent is younger singer /songwriter from Massacusetts, USA, active some period with respectable results. “Navigation” is his second offering, with 11 tracks in. His songs are full of insightful lyrical approaches, and taking inspirations from life on the road, and he mainly deal with so call three thames – love, life and lust. He also has a convinceble band behind, and some of his songs posses also jazz and funk flavour as well. “Navigation” are consists of folkie, acoustic,pop, country songs, and most of the materials posses a radio friendly usings. Wes Talbot did a good job as a producer, and I would specially recomand a 4th track “Hold On”, and more than interesting cover of Eddy Grant tune – Drop Baby Drop”, for repeatable listenings.
