Blonde hair, an irresistibly cheeky smile, stunning looks, a beautiful voice and eyes like a puppy, people of the world I present to you, JONNY JAMES. Behind the fashion, vast amounts of make-up and hair dye is a 20 year old singer/songwriter based in London. Currently working on his début album (title unreleased), Jonny James has crafted a somewhat unique pop/electro sound for his up and coming LP. Drawing on his inspirations from the likes of David Bowie and Boy George (who he opened for in 2010), his music equates to an 80's pop vibe but with the strong base line and relevant lyrics of modern contemporary pop music see in todays charts.
JJ has come into a pop world dominated by Lady Gaga rip off's and provocative stage performances with his own views on how music should be created and put across.
"I’m making serious comments on my generation and our views on love and how it’s changed, sex, violence, drugs, alcohol, youth culture and our attitudes to our world"
Currently working with music label EMI, JJ has already built up a small number of demo singles. (of which you can hear here at the links below) "Monstar" is by far the most catchy song so far in which he confronts the issues with the fame in modern day society and his personal experiences with it. Clever catchy production, soft vocals and a bitching guitar solo makes this song a sure chart contender.
As well as reviling the likes of Justin Bieber for chronic tweeting (@JonnyJOfficial), JJ constantly stays in touch personally with fans by opening personal FaceBook profiles accepting all his fans and interacts with them on a one to one basis!
Overall Jonny James' music is a unique and refreshing look on how young male pop artists can evolve from the standard. Unlike current trends where young cute artists fill there valuable album space with clichés of how there hearts were broken by girls and "the one" and regale us of how there will be no other, JJ has gone beyond the norm to address matters somewhat more pressing and frankly more interesting whilst still maintaining and interesting and catchy sound!
★★★★ Four Stars for the little cutey with the big voice!
