Charles Jenkins’ newest album – one man, one guitar, one microphone, one bedroom - is just delightful. Sometimes sadly beautiful. Sometimes lightly rising beautiful. Sometimes just straight out beautiful.

The idea that songs stripped back to their acoustic essence represent the ultimate test of its writing, a concept beloved back in the day of the Unplugged broadcasts, was only ever partially true. Not least because it was yet another chip on the shoulder of the rockist thinking that said dance/electronic/hip hop wasn’t the real deal or was at best a half-arsed attempt at making “proper” music.
