Toronto-based singer and producer Jeremy Glenn makes smooth, retro-sounding songs that are ready to blast at the club or on a yacht – your choice. His power pipes are front and centre on this introductory EP just released by über-hip Australian dance label Future Classic (Moon Holiday, Flume) and almost overshadow his catchy, synth-heavy production, but not quite.
The title track features a cool tropical pulse behind Glenn’s soaring R&B vocals, but it’s the slow-burning B-side, Overtime, a fiery, downtrodden slow jam exploding with heart and soul, that ends up stealing the show. Also, keep an eye out for his excellent live show featuring a full band and backup singers.
