Ah yes. These Streets.
I personally think that this late teens Scottish singer sounds alot older than his years on his debut album. I dont think it's just his careworn voice but more to do with the maturity of the lyrics, Also helping is the casual and smooth sound of his voice.
You see it's rather like the soul singers of previous generations, that Ntini manages to sing without a hint of hypocrisy about his own sexual exploits while also questioning his girlfriend's fidelity. It's the fact that he's a little bit naive but at the same time so frank, that he manages to get away with it.
Even though the stripped-down tunes on "These Streets" don't always grab the listener, the tracks where he is helped by a full band manage to cunjure up thoughts of a sunny-day American soul. As an example listen to"New Shoes".
