This is for me the special here at the voice of Jeremiah, which sounds even after Cat Stevens, then Max Mutzke or Roger Whittaker (!). The always soft baritone voice perfectly matches the warm sound of the songs from Motown Soul ("Heart of Stone"), Akustikpop ("how half-heartedly We Behave"), soul ("Happiness") and also something schlagerhaftem soulpop (" That same old line ") and blues (" All the one I'll ever be ") commute. There are also beautiful strings and winds that make you remember Swing Out Sister or Rumer. The melodies vary between memorable and catchy to slightly irrelevant and ephemeral, which is also a small flaw of the album - the melodies are then but a little repetitive and cheesy permanently. As still missing corners and edges.
Most songs are the ones in which you could combine the special voice with beautiful melodies like "Happiness" or "Sea", the most reminiscent of the Soul and the song structure of Swing Out Sister.
Unfortunately, the album is also much too short to be rated with 5 stars still can. Four of the eleven songs are below the 3 minute mark and leave a little surprise back: why was faded so fast? These songs seem almost like Interludes.
There is still much room for improvement, but great approaches and the direction would be there. Recommended for fans of Cat Stevens, Rumer, Burt Bacharach and Swing Out Sister.
