Christy – Pictures
Under a song flirting with melancholy murmurs, here is Christy with his new title Pictures. This talented artist distills a singular groove with haunting echoes. Multiplying the bitten notes with a delicate flow invites you to obsessive swaying. Christy’s voice gives the song a beautiful and unique atmosphere and his performance is professional. The lyrics are elegantly composed and certainly unique and his tunes are so enjoyable. Like a mantra with intimate intonations and iridescent pulsations that slide into atmospheric arpeggios, “Pictures” catches under its spellbinding rhythm.
At 24, Christy O’Donnell has already lived out several unlikely dreams. He’s busked the streets of Glasgow making £400 a day. He’s been in a boy band, Supernova (“Busted meets One Direction – the music was terrible”); he’s played the lead in an indie film, Moondogs, and he’s currently two seasons in as a romantic hero in the time-traveling Disney series Find Me In Paris. He’s even climbed Arthur’s Seat with Rufus Wainwright… But beneath the young Glaswegian’s many incarnations is a serious musician about to unleash his first EP (August 2020): a suite of songs which mix the vocal tenderness of Jeff Buckley or Chris Martin with the swirling musicality of Bon Iver.
