Promenade Blue (CD)
Nick Waterhouse
Amoeba Review
Nick Waterhouse teams up with producer Paul Butler (Michael Kiwanuka, Devendra Banhart) for the sophisticated, slightly bittersweet Promenade Blue. Waterhouse’s charismatic vocals sound rawer and more powerful than ever and that emotional force carries throughout the entire album, whether the songs take a turn toward the bleak or carry on toward more optimistic horizons. Soaring strings and atmospheric harmonies set the tone, with unexpected sonic flourishes creating a new roadmap for Waterhouse’s vintage sound. Promenade Blue is a ray of retro soul sunshine guaranteed to brighten even the most overcast day.
