 <\/p>\n

Fabulous Bournemouth-based artist, Momo:Tempo is set to release his new album, ‘Thespionage’<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, 8th June and boy! What a veritable treat music lovers are in for! Original, dramatic, and jam-packed with surprises, ‘Thespionage’ is one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard in while!<\/p>\n

As one excellent track flows into another we are taken on a wonderful journey of suspense and intrigue.<\/p>\n

The album opens with the strong electronic sounding masterpiece ‘Source Code’, followed by the contrasting and bold ‘Mighty Anonimity’ which boasts a glorious Horn section.<\/p>\n

Each of the album’s 22 tracks tell a story of its own, but with the whole thing flowing together very well.<\/p>\n

One of my favourite tracks, ‘Undo’ has a very catchy upbeat sound, and a chorus that had me singing along after just one listen.<\/p>\n

‘All That Love Could Be’ is another stand-out track, with a glorious 80’s feel, rather reminiscent of the band ABC, for those old enough to remember them. It’s a track I found hard not to fall in love with.<\/p>\n

The contrasts and surprises continue throughout the album from the fast-paced ‘Conspiracy:Declassified’ to the beautiful piano-based ‘The Scars Of Our Age’. A truely elegant piece with gently spoken lyrics.<\/p>\n

The Album wraps up perfectly with the Jazz Funk feel of ‘Tell Me If You Can’t Hear This?’<\/p>\n

Momo:Tempo has strong vocals and a lovely story-telling voice that draws you in to his dramatic tales of conspiracy, espionage and mystery.<\/p>\n

It is tempting to liken some tracks to War of the Worlds, with hints of Shaft, and even musicals such as Oliver, but any comparison would be a disservice to Momo:Tempo, as ‘Thespianage’ is truly an original and unique work of art.<\/p>\n

‘Thespionage’ by Momo:Tempo is available buy from Monday 8th June.<\/p>\n
