White never lets the listener stay sonically or emotionally in one place. And that sense of perpetual motion will likely sustain Fresh Blood’s longevity, too

With its change in tone, “Holy Moly” is the kind of surprise that Fresh Blood needs more of to be declared great rather than pretty good. Maybe next time

Under The Radar
A much more consistent album than its predecessor. But with it, White has lost some of the sparkle that makes him so compelling. It's a balance he needs to put right

Loud And Quiet
It’s easy to discard White as a 70s soul throwback but throughout he touches on a range that includes blues, smooth jazz, folk and fully-fledged classic rock
