Let Music Unfold

The “you” Davison pleads to on “Back on You” and this EP’s title track could be a god, a lover or both. The ambiguity is down to this young Belfast singer-songwriter’s earnest lyricism and angelic old-soul vocals. On his promising debut, Davison enlists hip-hop producer Homecut to flesh out his acoustic tunes with snatches of electronic drums, upright bass and piano. The latter is particularly effective on “Hard but Good,” as the chords ring like chimes on a clock to remind listener and narrator alike that love moves slowly and rewards the patient. The passage of time also figures into “Hush,” a two-part rumination on parenthood that builds from lullaby to lush, hopeful folk-rock hymn.
