‘Birmingham soul boy Bryn has it all. Smilin’ is an addictive love song with a thumping bassline and a wandering, satisfying melody. We like.’
‘A strong debut…Sour Times is shimmering and cinematic’
‘He’s got the looks, he’s go the style, and above all he’s got the soul…a compelling conjunction of old skool soul and contemporary cool’.
‘[Bryn Christopher] turns out to be that rarity: a showbiz escapee who has “it” in abundance.’
‘Bryn Christopher is something different… an energetic and engaging display.’
“This retro-soul, sung by a Brummie bloke with the voice of a Memphis mama, does the business”
“Christopher’s style is a wide-eyed leap across early Otis Redding, seventies Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and the sounds of Stax Records”
‘A spine tingling neo-soul number’
‘A one man Gnarls Barkley from Birmingham set to be the sound of the summer’
‘A touch of the Gnarls Barkley and a smattering of Terence Trent D’Arby…A sweet, passionate, vocal talent’
‘This 22 year old Brum takes you back again and again to the so-called heyday of black American pop’
‘The Quest is quite brilliant and that is all there is to it’
‘Old Skool Soul emotion with an impeccable delivery’
‘This bold debut is a great introduction’
‘A classy soul charged pop jam from the male equivalent of Amy Winehouse.’
‘This sounds like it was discovered in a vault that hadn’t been opened since 1964. Young Birmingham singer gives it loads of the quiet-fire treatment leaving you thinking, “who was that?”
