Clearly a talented singer and all around musician, George Hennessy is a bright new talent on the Northampton music scene. His debut album, 'Whatever,' vocalises that with ease.
The album starts with 'Walking On Sunshine' (not to be confused with Katrina & The Waves tune of the same name), a song that hits all the right notes in terms of an opener. An opener has to be special, memorable and set the tone for the rest of the album that follows. 'Walking On Sunshine' does this almost effortlessly. 'Weekend' depicts, well, a weekend with a fast beat and engaging lyrics - the chorus is catchy and will stay stuck in your head. 'Won't You Stay' shows a more vulnerable side to the album; a slow paced song that is perfect for when you want to sit back and relax. 'Will Never Care' is reminiscent of The Smiths' attitude; hazy guitar carrying the song as the last one on the 9 track album. 'Weather' has to be my favourite out of all the tracks as it is surprisingly groovy compared to the rest of the more raw and laid-back songs that Hennessy had to offer. It is definitely, without a doubt, the most experimental and it would have been fantastic if there were more songs like this. That being said, the album is perfectly good with the songs it already has on it.
It's safe to say George Hennessy has definitely laid down his best with this effort, showing off his passion and his talent to create such a memorable first album. Not only did he create such a definitive debut album but he also somehow managed to use 'W' at the beginning of each song title. That's a feat in itself, let alone writing nine memorable songs.
If you like Blaenavon, you'll definitely like 'Whatever.'
