Biography

Inspired by the likes of Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder, Bryn Christopher's fusion of classic soul and modern R&B has seen him labeled as the male Amy Winehouse. Born in Great Barr, Birmingham, in 1985, Christopher started performing at a young age. While at secondary school, he joined a youth theater company, formed a soul band, and wrote his first songs as part of his Music GCSE… Read more in Amazon's Bryn Christopher Store

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

2008 debut album that sounds like the work of an assured, confident, old-school Soul man trapped in the body of a new kid on the Pop block itching to make his mark. Ask him about his own songs, and he'll talk to you about addiction, undervaluing yourself, the Iraq war and writing lyrics on his mobile phone. If you want soul-steeped authenticity in 21st century togs, Bryn Christopher's your man. Bryn hit the scene earlier this year with the sensational single `The Quest' which recently featured on the closing scenes of `Grey's Anatomy' season 4 finale which has created a buzz for the kid from the midlands. The talented 22 year-old has already supported Amy Winehouse and Mary J. Blige and more recently played his own storming set at Glastonbury and The o2 Wireless festival. 11 tracks. Polydor.

5.0 out of 5 stars (If there is justice) A star is born, September 24, 2008
By bert1761 (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
  
I simply love this CD. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can find words adequate to describe it.

The previous reviewers allusion to Amy Winehouse is somewhat apt. At some point, I did find myself thinking of her as I was listening to the disc. But the association was one of "feel" rather than of "sound." Bryn Christopher is clearly in greater control of himself, his faculties and his gifts than is Ms. Winehouse. But like Ms. Winehouse, Mr. Christopher is simultaneously very contemporary and very retro. Another reference that came to miund for me was Terence Trent d'Arby. There is a similar vibe between the two gentlemen, but Mr. Christopher is less "rock" and more "pop" and more "R&B" -- at the same time no less. A final reference was to Van Hunt's last CD, which was like a trip back to 60s and 70s soul music with a 21st century twist.

Buy this CD. You will be moved by -- and moving to -- it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The male Amy Winehouse??? Hmmm!!!!, September 10, 2008
By Nse Ette (Lagos, Nigeria) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Ok, I must admit, I didn't expect much from 22 year old British soul singer Bryn Christopher based on his CD cover. Usually, pretty boys like him churn out generic R&B Chris Brown or Ne-Yo style. However, one listen to this CD, and I found he belongs more with his serious shaggy haired soul brethren, the Maxwells, D'Angelos and co.

As for his musical style, he reminds me a bit of fellow Brit David Jordan, or even Amy Winehouse whom he's supported on tour. He cites some of his influences as Sam Cooke, Prince, and Stevie Wonder among others, and that's good enough for me.

There are heavy Motown/Gospel influences; opening cut the rousing clap-filled "Help me", the gritty title track "My world" and the bouncy clap-filled "Seconds ago" especially, perfectly showcasing his gravelly soulful vocals which remind me somewhat of Terence Trent D'arby's. He really sings from the depth of his soul.

He bravely tackles "Sour times" by Trip Hop group Portishead and while not quite as brilliant as the original, it is a wonderful introduction to those who may never have heard it. He retains that creepy vibe against a staccato of uptempo beats.

Lead-off single the horn peppered "The Quest" reminds me a wee bit of Amy Winehouse's "You know I'm no good". The lyrics were inspired by Bryn's brother going to fight in Basra (Iraq) with lyrics like "What I'm gonna live for/what I'm gonna die for...I can't answer that!".

Second single "Smilin'" is sunny and upbeat and will have one doing just that. The bouncy psychedelic tinged "Gonegonegone" could have been done by Gnarls Barkley. "Stay with me" is bouncy yet eerie at the same time, somewhat like Amy's "Back to black". Hidden at the end of the CD is the haunting "Take me over" with a skittery beat, a haunting female voice harmonising, and cryptic lyrics.

For ballads, there's "Found a new love" with its faint Tango feel and a great guitar riff, "Way you are" which finds him telling his girl to stay just the way she is, and the lovely piano ballad "My kinda woman" which reminds me in parts of "Unchained melody". It is a beautiful and dramatic declaration of love (I love the long note he holds near the end).

This album is simply amazing. It's almost like stepping back into the seventies, when Marvin was asking "What's goin' on" and Stevie was at his zenith. I hope Bryn gets that break he so richly deserves. Great to see more great Soul coming from the shores of Britain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Order from UK, October 3, 2008
This is a great CD. However, don't pay $33, go to www.amazon.co.uk/ and it will cost right at $18...including shipping. I paid through PayPal and there was no charge for monetary conversion on my credit card.
