about
20-year-old Brighton lad, Jack Watts is the kind of up-and-coming artist that will floor you the instant his ethereal vox hit your eardrums. Though notably inspired by Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, his sound rather lends itself more toward the acoustic and jazzy sides of Ben Howard, Nina Simone, Justin Nozuka and Damien Rice as beautifully raw and emotionally intense lyrics are stripped from his throat in a hushed melody of brilliance. His debut EP Red Shortbread might be short, consisting of a mere five tracks (one of which is a cover), but all four originals come delicately crafted and even more delicately executed. And as each song unravels, it becomes disturbingly clear that Watts either has a talent for tearing at our emotions inch by inch, or tearing himself apart inch by inch.
