Several years after Cherry's daughter Neneh was propelled into the public eye, her brother Eagle-Eye makes his recorded debut with DESIRELESS. Eagle-Eye's music is miles away from both his sister's neo-R&B and his father's jazz. Rather, DESIRELESS is full of stripped down alterna-pop (whatever that means). Slightly R&B-inflected, occasionally reminiscent of Ben Harper, the tunes on DESIRELESS are gentle, acoustic-based, modern folk-pop, rootsy but thoroughly modern. Eagle-Eye's relaxed, confident delivery and inward-looking (but never navel-gazing) lyrics make his first release go down easy.
