Lauren Ray – Drive (Tamlan Records)

| Lauren Ray - Drive |
Release Date: 29th April 2016
London based singer Lauren Ray is
hailed by her PR as a little Norah Jones in places which is not necessarily a
bad thing but Norah Jones does seem to have become a watchword for bland in
musical circles these days so it’s a bold move. New single ‘Drive’ is a gentle,
piano lead piece of smooth Sunday morning Jazz that is designed for white
sheets, broadsheet newspapers and fresh coffee. Ray’s voice is sweet and
perfectly suited to this style of music but there is very little here to move
me and a particularly annoying drum sound that seems to punctuate through the
whole tune like a loud clock when you’re trying to sleep at 3.00am. So, in
summary, lovely voice and inoffensive tune but nothing that would make me get
out of bed on a Sunday morning I’m afraid.
