Colin Blunstone, known for his breathy, controlled vocals as frontman of the Zombies, returns with his new EP “Less is More”. More a stroke of a pen on canvas than a fully fleshed-out work, this EP offers a collection of demos that make an intriguing addition to the singer’s repertoire. Despite being demos, the beauty of Blunstone’s voice still shines through without losing an ounce of its power. The simplicity of songs consisting only of voice and guitar is stunning, showcasing Blunstone’s signature edge. “Less is More” deserves praise for its intimacy and emotional depth. The highlight of the EP, “The Sun Will Rise”, excels with beautiful lyrics and calls for further elaboration. For fans of Blunstone and quality pop music, this EP is an absolute must. With his timeless voice and subdued arrangements, “Less is More” deserves a solid 8 out of 10. This EP proves that even in its most minimal form, Bluestone’s music continues to shine like a true work of art. (Jan Vranken) (8/10) [Source]
