New music review – Alan Pownall’s True Love Stories

With his James Dean styling and the plucky acoustic feel of the first tracks on singer/songwriter Alan Pownall’s debut True love Stories album you get a sense of 50s/60s nostalgia. But then his brooding tones are set to upbeat, less edgy catchy melodies that could feel happily at home in the mainstream or on a soundtrack for a british romantic comedy. In the end it’s all very polished like on the slower Colourful Day. Very pleasant but maybe a little too glossy at times.
