Want to get out of the hell called MySpace? You can't. The posts are still up though. The section as such is closed.
Jay Banerjee has a way with words. The NYC songwriter takes his cues from vintage Sixties garage and melodies that hint at the Beatles and the Beach Boys. He has a demo EP aptly titled Three Songs. There are all about the fairer sex and how to deal with them. Banerjee hasn't got a much of a voice, but his wandering up and down and scales goes well with the mixed emotions that he sings about.
Kate is his stand-out track, with quite a bit of wordplay - "communicate", "reciprocate" and, of course, "complicate". All jokes aside he get it just right, when he deadpans : "Kate I think the problem is you've got too many feelings / You can take my heart just don't get caught and then it ain't stealing / If you don't want me to waste my time on such an endeavor / Love me hate me just say that you're mine then go feel whatever".
Three Songs is available though his website.
Tracks:- Long Way Home
- No Way Girl
- Kate
Banerjee does it all by him self, with engineer Michel Lynch riding shotgun in the producer's seat. He performs live as a foursome as Jay Banerjee & The Hearttrobs:
