Known previously as the voice of Boy On A Dolphin, the Liverpool singer-songwriter’s debut solo effort is a bit of a puzzle for this reviewer. A decidedly easy-listening tune, this is as much due to the production on the song, whose MIDI-ish strings and slightly schmaltzy tone make for a sound somewhere between Neil Diamond and James Blunt. That said, Blunt’s a multi-million-selling artist, and Diamond… is a bit of a guilty pleasure. And what Reilly offers is actually something of a masterclass in its genre.
