JAMIE WEBSTER
10 FOR THE PEOPLE
MODERN SKY
★★★★
With a 40,000-capacity Liverpool homecoming stadium show booked for next July, fiery singer-songwriter Jamie Webster’s rise is cemented here by a heartwarming third album full of his biggest dreams and bigger choruses. Billy Bragg narrates the carnival air of Fickle Fran, rising soul singer Brooke Combe brings joy on Better Day, but it’s the tender heart at the centre of the poignant Lovers In The Supermarket and impassioned fire of the Waterboys mood in The Boy/The Girl that shows how Webster got so huge on his own terms.
