Jim Noir--Tower of Love

In his debut album -- Tower of Love -- Jim Noir proves to be a notable singer/songwriter. Combining influences from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and contemporary artists, Noir provides a kaleidoscope of vintage class, modern light heartiness, and talented song-writing. Extremely catchy from the word go, "My Patch" and "Key of C" climb into your head with memorable rhythms as Noir adds his delicate boyish vocals. Other songs such as "Climb a Tree" and "Tower of Love" bring up memories of ‘60s and ‘70s folk artists, as "I Me You I'm Your" hint at Beatle-like vintage British influences. Despite some odd and annoying patches, Noir succeeds in crafting more than a few warm and enjoyable tunes. In Tower of Love can be found the cheekiness of the Beach Boys, the warm summers of the Mamas & the Papas, and the modern melodies of Belle & Sebastian—as well as Noir’s own unique touch, ("Computer Song" is a wonderfully bouncy modern ballad). Warmly brilliant, Jim Noir is a man to watch for in the future.
