Album Review – Joseph Patrick Moore – XYZ Factor
On his latest effort “XYZ Factor” Joseph Patrick Moore fuses together elements of contemporary jazz with electronica delivering a unique experience which will be sure to please both electronica and jazz fans alike. The three song EP, co-produced by platinum record producer Buzz Amato, features an electronic beat backed by Moore’s uplifting bass lines. While this may seem to be a bit of a departure for Moore, his unmistakeable tone cuts through taking the music to new heights.
The first track, “Yield”, eases the listener into the jazz/electronica fusion, laying out the groundwork for the rest of the EP. Here Moore’s strong sense of melody serves him well as it weaves around the ambient beat. “Xanadu” is the standout track with a solid addictive beat and haunting melody. One can’t help but move to the rhythm of this track, it is impossible to listen to without at least tapping along with your foot. “Zig Zag Zoom” rounds out the EP with a pop infused melody that is sure to keep the party going. 7/10
