He’s been described as a cross between Stevie Wonder and Radiohead and there are hints of both here. But Hewitt is a bona fide original, an artist who transcends easy neo-soul and alt-rock descriptions. The Scarborough, Ont. native’s full-length debut is a whirlwind—or maelstrom—of contrasts: smooth and soothing, yet also hard-edged and disturbing. The dark, urgent rock of “Try,” the anxious, Eastern-tinged “Bending Glass” and the healing soulfulness of the title track best reflect his stunning emotional range.Reviews
