We posted the acapella rendition of this song which Jamie did while in Cambodia last week, it’s time now for you to hear his new single in all it’s fully mastered glory.

I’ve had this song for a while now, first heard him perform it was late last year – I think it’s f*cking excellent. I love the instrumentation – do you hear that swing? Those claps? I love the texture of his vocals too and the layers which encase them and once again, lyrically, Woon delivers.

The real deal, we keep telling you.

I am very curious to see how the media (mainstream press, blogopshere etc) respond to Jamie in light of Blake-gate. Not just the media, but fans / music heads too. Is there room for both Woon and Blake to co-exist without their markets clashing and critics overlooking one for the other?

What do you think?

    I'm from the States, and I HATE that he will be overlooked here because no one can appreciate the talent that some artists have. But as for in the UK I would say he will do just fine, I guess it all really depends on this single, and how well it charts.

  2. I just hope he doesn't get overshadowed by Blake. IMO, Jamie Woon is the real deal when it comes to the fusion of soul and electronic. Lovin' the new single BTW, had to buy it right away!
