a lighter head for your heavy heart

Jamie Woon | Mirrorwriting

Time to savor all that night air has to lend me, ’till the morning make me angry.

From the womb of Scottish/Celtic new-age folk singer, Mae McKenna, comes Jamie Woon and his soul-inflected vocals. With the emergence of intertwining genres, in the age of ‘post-dubstep’ and the like, Woon fits right in- avoiding cut & dry categorization. The London-bred producer traces the origins of his sound to  his musical upbringing and to his experiences at the Red Bull Music Academy where he collaborated with up-and-comers Subeena and Debruit.  More recently, Woon has been collaborating with Burial and Ramadanman.

Produced independently, his debut album Mirrorwriting ( Polydor ) is somewhat of a family affair – Woon’s mother, along with others of his blood, performs back up vocals throughout the entirety of the album, perhaps accounting for the sentimental sound-scapes. Nevertheless, despite familial roots, in a marriage of swooning lullabies and meticulous grooves, Woon casts a spell with a voice like velvet, tempting you out of your clothes and into the bedroom.
