SLOW JAMZ
West, Pop Music, Exhibit 2. Nothing much to say about this other than that it reminds me of a time of cafes and flash showers in Soho, binge drinking on Roman Road, expensive dinners in South Kensington or on Edgware Road, brandy-tinged rambles along the River Lea. All simple shivers of nostalgia to me now, places I lived in and never go back to, faces I long to see more of or once again, all memories captured in the old feelings that this record taps into. Apart from all of that, it’s just a fantastic, funny, beautiful pop song.
