I’m not gonna lie: when I
read the name Cody Jasper, I thought of the pop music genre – thank you, Cody
Simpson. I didn’t do any background
research or anything and simply listened to the album raw, and to my surprise,
Jasper’s got a rock and soul thing going on.
Overall, the tracks blend
together and sound similar with the same generic song progression – guitar
riffs and drum beats – but Jasper’s vocals outshine them both. Most of the album exudes a slow rock sound
with raspy, rough vocals that are entertaining and sometimes sexy. However, his vocals really got me in his
ballads, “Mona Lisa” and “Holy Water.”
He sings with a nice deep crisp sound that makes you feel the emotion
and passion behind his words, which break your heart.
The album shows two caricatures
of Jasper. On one hand he can be the raunchy lustful
lover, talking about drugs and sex, but on the other, he can be a
sweet and heartfelt lover, yearning for your touch. 6/10
