T J WILKINS is a Los Angeles-based actor and singer/songwriter who made big waves on season six of the US iteration of ‘The Voice’. Right now he’s preparing an album, ‘Yesterday, Today, and Forever’ (due October) and the set’s current focus single is winning young Mr W plenty of plaudits -and easy to hear why!
You see, the track, ‘Picture Us’ is a wonderful soul throwback sound – the flavour is classic 60s Motown with the most obvious reference point being prime time Temptations! The song’s a simple affair – the lyrics are reminiscent of a classic summer romance and the production’s uncluttered allowing TJ’s smooth, soulful vocals to shine through.
‘Picture Us ‘is the follow up to the album’s first single, ‘Come Off’ which offered a different kind of vibe. Both tracks bode well for the album which, we’re told, will represent every era of soul music. In the meantime, ‘Picture Us’ comes recommended!
