Australian-based new artist and ex-Australian Idol finalist Barry Southgate, has his debut EP out – Epitome. The EP consists of 5 tracks. The first track Don't You Think is a very up-beat, sun-filled song reminiscent of Bruno Mars in its style and lyrical content. This showcases Barry's vocal range and differs a lot from any of the other tracks on the E.P.
Tracks like Against the Wall and You lend heavily on piano and on You, Barry's voice is heavily mixed but still has that soulful Stevie Wonder feel about it which made it stand out from what would just be a basic,playing by numbers, track.
The weakest track for me was Summer Night. This sounded too much like a 90s boy band song for my liking.Not much of a hook to remember it by either. It does showcase Barry's soulful vocal range though.
Over-all a great debut E.P and something that shows the potential that this young talent and hardworking singer has and definitely makes you look forward to the album which i'm sure wont be far from coming.
And finally the last track i listen to, The Fall, this to me was far to safe and more risk should have been taken. This could easily have been left off the E.P
