Pop/jazz/funk/blues and whatnot performed by an Icelandic band fronted by UK vocalist/songwriter/lyricist JJ Soul. When living in Iceland for a brief period (‘93-‘97), JJ met songwriter Ingvi Thor Kormaksson and soon they began writing music together. In 1994 they made their first album, ‘Hungry for News’, with JJ Soul Band and in 1997, ‘City Life’. On both albums the music is many-sided; Blues, R&B, Fusion, Rock, Pop and Latin, sometimes all in one (blues-confusion?). The band has mainly served as a vehicle for the songwriting team. The third album was ‘Reach for the Sky’ (2002) and finally there is “Bright Lights” in 2008. All JJ Soul albums can be purchased at CD BABY. "Music by Ingvi Thor Kormaksson and JJ Soul. English lyrics by vocalist-extraordinaire, JJ Soul, said to be remindful of Tom Waits, Ray Charles and Joe Cocker. Some of Iceland’s finest musicians play in the band. Blues fused with light jazz and rock. The album includes 12 earlier works from this highly unique and original Icelandic group. Some exceptional songs including Dark Eyes and also the title track.” Norman McCourt (An’ R Magazine, sept. 2002) "WATCH OUT" - 2. prize; the 4th Hastings International Songwriting Contest, 1996.
