'Art & Soul' is the debut EP released by UK singer Josh Barry on 9
Apr 2021. The standout track to my ears is 'Rush' closely followed by
'All Add Up' which was released as a single in Jan. Listen to the full
album below.
Josh has been touring with dance duo Gorgon City since 2014. In 2017 he
won 'Glastonbury Emerging Talent Contest' and that year supported 'Rag N
Bone Man' on his UK & Ireland tour.
His music has been described as "his unique, modern take on 70’s old school soul, has been compared to Otis Redding meets Jimi Hendrix, with the energy of James Brown". I don't hear that I'm afraid. I hear elements of Seal and yes there are some psychedelic rock influences in parts and it's more 60s influenced than 70s and I don't know where they get the James Brown part from .. ill informed journalists who know little about black music using the first names that spring to mind! Otis Redding died in 1967 and Hendrix in 1970 and James Brown's music is predominantly synonymous with the 60s rather than the 70s - so how is that 70s music?
