Single Review

Here comes another wannabe, or is wallaby?

Living in Sydney Australia hasnt affected Sam Pierces Surrey accent one iota. It may well have affected his songwriting though.

Sam Pierce aka I Am Sam, has apparently been making waves down under with his blend of laidback grooves, humorous, relevant lyrics and hooks, but unlike the PR blurb suggests, they dont stick like glue with me.

This chart wannabe does not have that breezy and cool swagger of his supposed musical stablemate Jack Johnson or the wiry edgy of say, Jason Mraz.

Yes, its very radio friendly, and having given it several spins, it still manages to leave me numb, despite the suggested sunshine effect its supposed to have.

Reality is, youll probably like it today, but have forgotten all about it tomorrow.

The verdict Might be making waves, but no musical Tsunami.
