A track by track review of the new EP from UK singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist Jen Dixon…

1.Over You From a gentle introduction this develops into a big echoing ballad reflecting the big skies and ocean of the North East coast shown on the EP artwork.

2.What If Previously released as a strong single, the complex musical arrangement ebbs and flows underpinned by a drum pattern and an urgent guitar figure but it is the constant questions in the chorus lyrics ‘…what if this…what if that…’ that is the heart of the song.

3. Fighting In The Shadows Built around the title phrase this is another fine vocal performance and full-on band showcase, with a subtlety and grace to the quieter verses.

4. Number 13 With a rockier feel in contrast to the previous tracks, Jen delivers the vocal with emotional force edged with pensive regret. The chorus stays lodged in your head, ‘….you’re holding a smoking gun…’

5. Less Than A Feeling Probably my favourite on the EP, another guitar driven rocker with a belting vocal and a live sound; soaring and bristling with electric energy.
