Album:
This is an album that will still be familiar sounding to those who know him from The Radio Sun and StarChase. However, alongside hard rock crunch and melodic catchiness, you’ll find tracks that deliver emotive power with strings of a different kind, a hint of synths and some driving acoustic arrangements.Songs that are at times hauntingly fragile and painfully honest, but instantly relatable and wrapped in an overall message of positivism.Some bands have a definite ‘sound’ because of their vocalists. Jase is one such fellow. His voice is pretty distinctive. However, with “Hemisphere”, that’s about to change.Take opening track ‘I Hope You Find The One’ which is a broody, and more emotional song to what you would hear from his day job. The phrasing is different with a bit of Richard Marx rasp going on. It makes for a pretty good start.‘Tell Me How To Mend A Broken Heart’ follows suit. Despite the jangly keyboard and synth, its honest songwriting wrenched from his experiences. ‘Take Me As I Am’ is a lighter number with a modern feel. The reins are off for Jason to roam into different styles.‘And You’ is definitely from the Marx school of performing arts. Think emotional ballad, and it’s where we find Jase, opening up and bearing his soul for these songs.‘Breaking Down The Lie’ is the Jase Old we all know, a song that has a good melody and is more pulsating and menacing melodic rock.‘You’re A Star’ is one of the stars on ‘Hemispheres’, anyone who rhymes ‘beautiful’ with ‘irrefutable’ gets my vote. ‘Love Is What You’re Looking For’ is old school pop-rock with a nice layered chorus that’s ELO-esque.Title track ‘Hemisphere’ has a lot going on. Its mainly acoustical with a prominent synth beat, but still with a drive and power, that picks up and leaves you wanting more.On ‘One Life’ he sings ‘just give it all you’ve got, you may not get another shot, because there is only one life’. Quite apt. ‘Sometimes’ is on the heavier side of Jase’s style, and is a favourite, a hooky rocker with bite.‘Like It Used To Be’ is the closest Jase comes to The Radio Sun here, a festive melodic rocker which finishes the album on a positive and high note.I have to say that there’s a lot to like on Jase’s debut. He has certainly mixed it up a bit, as there’s different styles, emotions, and more depth to the subject matter. The songs are varied enough and come at you thick and fast.Exploring creative freedom, without any preconceived notion about what style or genre a song needed to fit into, “Hemisphere” sees Jase expanding the breadth of his talents as a solo performer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, and a chance to explore his vast musical influences.‘Hemisphere’ is a very pleasant surprise.
