Circumstances beyond the control of Tru Thoughts has pushed the release date for Kinny’s album “Idle Forest Of Chit Chat” back to 23rd March. A few (very positive) reviews have already surfaced online and here are some of the things they said:

From Juslikemusic.com:

”Allow me to start this review with the conclusion: this is a fantastic album. (…) If it had been released last year it would have made my top eight in The Best of 2008 blog post.”

”The track with the same name as the LP, Idle Forest Of Chit Chat, produced by Souldrop kicks things off. Frankly it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. The steady beat, delicate guitar melody and haunting lyrics combine seamlessly. Such simplicity to the structure of this track, but just perfect in its execution.”

From Jazzandsoul.eu:

”Check out the already familiar ‘Forgetting To Remember’ with double bass backing and the title track ‘Idle Forest of Chit Chat’ to realise that you do not need big orchestrations to sound good.”

” This is a hugely accessible hip album where the redefining of the soul genre deserves the same sort of acclaim that came to a certain Ms Winehouse. Make no mistake, Kinny rules and long may it continue! 9/10”
