Tim De Graaw: Three Black Roses

Tim De Graaw has all the trappings of becoming a major player on this year's summer playlists. His debut EP Three Black Roses is filled with a bit of catchy, mainstream rock with just enough punch and swagger to appeal to the music geek's as well. The slow songs however, are not quite as good.

With two rockers - lead single Ivory and Carry On Easy, and three ballads (Michelangelo, the rather sappy Safety Vest and dude with a guitar performing at a bonfire ditty Oxygen) - he is at the first crossroads in his career and while the latter should get him more sales, he should definitely go for the road leading to rock. With his guitar skills and a voice like that he should not hold back and let rip.

Tim De Graaw: Ivory

Tim De Graaw was born and raised in South Africa, moved to LA and now calls London home. His debut single Ivory is a retro rock anthem - loud but radio friendly. He got burned by some girl, but ended up with inspiration to pen a put down song that make him some hard cash. Think a blend of Lenny Kravitz and John Mayer.

The track was mixed at Muscle Shoals, and the folks down there know their stuff: great dynamics and no sign of the dreaded brick walling.
