    JVM's 3rd album has silky tunes but it is all built upon ultra slick R&B style production. Opening song, "Rising Water"is driven along by a pulsing bass line and provides an immediate hook to catch audiences and draw them in. It's the quickest tempo song on the record and also the standout song on the album. "We Move" is packed full of good songs, arrangement superbly in studio but weJVM's 3rd album has silky tunes but it is all built upon ultra slick R&B style production.

"We Move" is packed full of good songs, arrangement superbly in studio but we could definitely do with a few more standout moments. Stylistically, he's come quite a distance since his folky debut. A man who is seemingly growing in confidence in his craft and abilities with each record he creates. One of the under rated stars of current Irish music scene.… Expand

    Saw him live in Utrecht, amazing voice! His music has so many dimensions with all the different kind of keys and voices of the other band members. Especially like the songs 'Evil' and 'Get Low'.

    The warmth of the beats and the tasteful melodic arrangements are perfectly suited to McMorrow's soulful, blue-eyed delivery, and the occasional stylistic detours and offbeat turns of phrase make for welcome deviations from the formula.

    McMorrow loyalists may bemoan the polished sheen that characterises the tracks on We Move, but there is some genuine pop-soul mastery at display here, McMorrow’s sound more wholesome without renouncing the spectral quality that characterised his earlier material.

    While Post Tropical showcased McMorrow’s fondness for hip-hop’s rhythms and R&B’s sensual spaciousness, it didn’t represent a formal conversion into either one of these genres. We Move, by contrast, is a definitive step toward pop, but one that also demonstrates the Irish belter’s willingness to take risks and tear out of his sensitive-soul comfort zone.
