Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Twentysomething is a stunning second album. After rising to prominence with his debut album Pointless Nostalgic, Jamie Cullum signed to Verve in spectacular fashion with a million pound deal. If there was any pressure involved, Cullum certainly doesn't let it show on his first album for the label. Where Pointless Nostagic was recorded with a student loan, the follow-up was made on analogue tape at London’s Mayfair studios (where Radiohead and Oasis had recently recorded) and was produced by Stewart Levine (Simply Red, BB King, Masters at Work, George Benson). Like its predecessor, it finds Cullum lending his warm, distinctive voice to jazz standards and popular classics such as "What a Difference a Day Made", "Singing in the Rain" and "I Get a Kick Out of You". There are renditions of more contemporary songs too, most notably Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" and Jimi Hendrix's "Wind Cries Mary", and Jamie's own material (written with his brother Ben), including the gently rolling "All at Sea" and the Van Morrison-esque title track. Difficult to know whether anyone is worth a million pounds, but Twentysomething certainly sounds like a million bucks and re-establishes Cullum as indubitably the coolest crooner on the block. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description

Major label debut from twentysomething crooner. Like his contemporary Michael Buble, he refreshes jazz standards and popular classics with a clear, modern vocal style and production. He also writes his own material with his brother Ben, the surprisingly mature results having a jazz-pop feel in the vein of Van Morrison. This special edition features four bonus tracks including b-sides and a cover of 'Everlasting Love' which features in the the movie 'Bridget Jones - Edge Of Reason'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Special Edition?, 15 Nov 2004
To put it mildly, I get ever so slightly annoyed when artists bring out 'Special Editions' of their albums a year after the original release, with added tracks. The fans that have already shelled out for the first CD face spending even more money - and what for?

First of all, 'High and Dry' isn't a bonus track; it was on Pointless Nostalgic. 'Everlasting Love' and 'Frontin' have already been released as singles - if he wanted to put these on an album, why not his next one?

Don't get me wrong - I love Jamie Cullum. I own both his albums and listen to them all the time. It's the money-grabbing record companies that I hate.

If you don't already own this album, or you're a really fanatical Cullum fan, then buy this. But if you have the 2003 Twentysomething, then don't line the pockets of his record company even more. The 14 original tracks are sufficient to tell you that Jamie is one of the most talented artists around, and will be for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's Special About A Special Edition?, 23 Nov 2004
By A Customer
What's good about good-bye? Well, what's special about a Special Edition? "A music fan from United Kingdom" is not wrong with his/her take on record companies trying to (re)line their pockets with money from the fans that already shelled out cash in the first place.

That said, it should be noted that "Twentysomething" is stellar throughout, and that the bonus tracks are well worth having. "High and Dry" actually IS a bonus track, taken from the US version of "Twentysomething" and is quite different than the "Pointless Nostalgic" version (check out the drumming anchoring the tune). And for those of us in the US, "Everlasting Love" is only available on the Bridget Jones 2 soundtrack and "Can't We Be Friends" was only available via iTunes, so it is nice to have them all on one CD.

"Twentysomething" (Special Edition or not) is a must have, and Jamie is a talent that will be around for years to come...

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative, quirky and brilliant, 18 Aug 2007
By Brian Levine - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
So the last reviewer based his review on listening to one or two tracks down the phone? Hmmm...

This album is superb from start to finish: Jamie's voice is passionate, youthful and earthy and his musicianship unassailable. The little bits of his personality that edge into each song make it highly personal and make you smile.

The songs penned by his brother are particularly good, because of their freshness: 'Twentysomething' is extremely good: just check out the lyrics and you'll realise he's singing about YOU!

Buy it and enjoy!!
