When his fans said he's 'as good as Bob Dylan' to me, that instantly rubbed off on me.
He's nowhere near Mr Dylan.
I hate that.
I read somewhere saying that 'he's a cross between Dylan and Paul Simon'. I'm thinking what the fuck?!
As if the kid hasn't got enough pressure from being the youngest British artist to debut at number 1, but they want to compare him to two music geniuses.
Give him a break, let him make the music he makes without the threat of turning people away before they even listen to him. Let the people judge him themselves.
He's a nice talent and unreal live. Seen him live a few times now, and one i remember was a nice acoustic set in Nottingham before he blew up and his voice alone grabbed the attention of the whole room for the entire set.
Like the great Karl Pilkinton said: "Everything's been done, Dragons Den would have been a piece of piss back then". Same applies for music.
He's only about 18 years old too.
I'm not denying his talent. He's a very good singer-songwriter and yes, he is young so he has a lot left in him.
He's a bit of a breath of fresh air too. It's something a little different, something that I can appreciate which doesn't come often from the music scene these days.
