‘Where’s The Time’ EP Review

This is a 5 track EP from Joanne Chester is solely grounded in the Blues/Jazz genre.

While Joanne’s vocals lack the sultry power usually associated this genre and at times were just plain flat, the intention and emotion behind the lyrics is quite spectacular. You could feel the dedication to the music.

Track 1 ‘Where’s The Time?’ and Track 2 ‘Not Thinking Of You’ had hints of big band swing and I enjoyed the saxophone element, while the three remaining tracks were more mellow and slower, bringing a more rich and deeper sound.

That being said, there was no real stand out track for me. Track 4 “Forever” did have me thinking of elevator music in the instrumental segments (not in a bad way though).

The album was overall very easy listening and well put together. A little more vocal coaching and Joanne would become a great soul singer.
