Despite still being a highlight in terms of his song-writing inspirations taking Burrows to higher places, the track receiving the ever-so-typical ‘album mix’ treatment takes away some of its original raw emotion which is a considerable shame. The album tracklist strings these well-known singles together, to a mixed effect.
The finest example of this would be fan favourite ‘As We Are Now’. While some of the tracks on this debut sound very similar in range and style, you have to hand it to Burrows Young Blood is a polished collection of tracks – perhaps almost too polished when listening to the album versions of previous EP tracks. Opener ‘Letting Go’ kicks off proceedings in fine form, and sets the pace for the rest of the LP, signalling to listeners that they’re in for a treat. Young Blood features many songs already well-known to fans of Saint Raymond, and a few listens really certifies that those releases were the right choices to showcase this young musician’s talent.
Preceding this release throughout the last year and a half with several singles and EPs, this Nottingham-born artist has started to make waves, his blend of acoustic guitar and anthemic choruses making him a festival favourite. It has been a long time coming but finally this summer, Callum Burrows AKA Saint Raymond has released his debut album Young Blood.
