Nashville based Josh Hoge's major-label-bred single "360"- part of what is to be his full length debut album, is a fine piece of polished pop-soul. But in the meantime, the singer has shown he's just as pretty in sweats and a t-shirt with his newly released BEDROOM SESSIONS VOL. 1 EP, a disc that was produced like you'd figure: in a bedroom studio over a couple of days with Hoge and his band, and minimal gussying. "360" shows up here too, as a stripped down, gravelly soul ballad, and Hoge's voice comes through just as limber and twice as expressive.
You'll catch a few out of place hairs in the six-song disc, but they add to its laid-back, honest vibe. As charming as Hoge's BEDROOM SESSIONS feel, he's still at his best on stage. The singers taut falsetto weaving like a sexier version of Justin Timberlake's, his growl matching his talented brother Will's more rock-edged version, and just an all out vibe rarely seen anymore from stage.
