Graffiti6 is UK producer TommyD and singer/songwriter Jamie Scott, of Jamie Scott & The Town. The two came together in 2008 and what followed became Stare Into The Sun. After the success of their music, which went on to feature on several hit shows as well as other media outlets, TommyD and Jamie Scott continued working on more music that they would release on their own label and on Capitol Records here in the US.

I was a bit weary, that my first experience with Graffiti6 being with an EP that featured a couple of acoustic numbers and a remix. I’ve been there before with other bands that I had never heard of and wrote them off soon afterwards. My experiences here were quite different, being that as a whole I thought the EP did well in representing what sort of music Graffiti6 is, as well as a cover that seemed to broaden the bands back story a bit.

First track off the album, Annie You Save Me, instantly made me think of bands like Coldplay and Maroon 5. It’s one of those relatively safe radio friendly songs that you’d expect to hear around the clock, but also a great introduction to the mainstream for showcasing Jamie Scott’s voice which is really pretty soulful. Next is Annie You Save Me (Timmy The Terror Wrabble Remix). While it’s an okay remix it just sounds messy and unfocused compared to its source. I listened to this track more then the others trying to find a reason why I shouldn’t consider it a complete toss out, but you can’t dance to it or cruise with it. It’s really the only sore spot on the EP in my opinion. The remaining tracks are acoustic numbers that really give you the opportunity to gauge Scott’s voice and to get a glimpse at Graffiti6 completely stripped down. I love acoustic music so I knew it was going to be rough for me if it was even the least bit off sounding but it’s a solid performance.

The first acoustic track, Free, shows great guitar handling and Scott’s voice shows a lot of range. Then you have the cover of Blackstreet’s No Diggity which provides this soulful jazz-like moodiness to it. I remember hearing Blackstreet’s studio version which melted into the genre in which it sprung, being a hit for a little while, but Graffiti6 takes it to a whole other level and makes the song their own. Its sexy, a bit loose, but all together well put together for a cover track. You can catch it at the bands Myspace page. In any case it’s a fine couple of tracks to close out the EP and in the end, instead of finding myself writing this band off after a limited experience, I can honestly say I’ll be tracking down their earlier work and looking forward to things to come. As always final judgment is yours. Enjoy.
