After buying this album yesterday after its long awaited release, I've had it on constant repeat! Jamie Cullum's brand new album, Momentum, is one of those album that it is impossible to not love or to ever stop listening to.
Jamie is an English, jazz/pop singer and songwriter and has had five previous albums and burst into the music industry after the release of 'Twentysomething' in 2003. He is probably most well known for the stunning 'High & Dry'. His unique talent and sound have led him to win several awards for his successes. Jamie is also a multi-instrumentalist, so when combined with his ability to sing, write and produce music, this takes his talents to another level!
Cullum signed up with Island Records for this album and it has been said to be "brimful of powerful songs" and I can't fail to agree! Jamie went back to basics to create Momentum and used home demos, iPhone apps, charity shop keyboards and cassette records to build up the basic shell of this brilliant album. It's a true combination of beautiful jazzy sounds and pop-y beats, as well as Jamie's rustic voice and it can't fail but to be a hit. The album features twelve songs, including the lead single 'Everything You Didn't Do' and a captivating cover of 'Pure Imagination'. There is also a deluxe version available, which includes three extra tracks as well as several live versions of songs from the album, recorded at London's famous Abbey Road Studios.

Regarding my favourite track from this album, it would have to be either, Everything You Didn't Do, Save Your Soul, Anyway, When I Get Famous or You're Not the Only One. But as you can probably tell, there is no clear winner regarding a favourite on this album because every time you think you've found it, the next song will play and all of a sudden, that's your favourite! It's a vicious circle of incredible songs.
I have a true love for Jamie Cullum and his music and I hope to one day see him live. If you haven't heard any of his previous music, then I highly recommend that you do, along with this album! Also check out Jamie on various social networking sites - Jamiecullum.com, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube.
