JARELL PERRY, “Getaway”
Through the successful independent and free download release of his album Simple Things, one of the year’s best records, I will reiterate that Jarell Perry has proven that great songs carried by a magnificent voice can lead the way without the aid of visuals. So somewhat belatedly we now have the video for one of that album’s songs “Getaway” to make the package complete. For those of you unfamiliar with Jarell, “Getaway” is a most worthy introduction, though to me there are other better songs on the album (“9 2 5”, “Awkward”, “Perfect”). Nonetheless by the end of 2013 Jarell Perry will be considered among the many fine vocalists who have surfaced with new music over the past year or so, whether they be relative newcomers like Frank Ocean or Miguel, or powerhouses like Justin Timberlake and Usher.
