“I can’t pretend like I’m dumb,” says Waterhouse, who headlines the Brighton Music Hall on Tuesday. “I can’t pretend that I haven’t had these long, drawn-out inner monologues and dialogues with friends and fellow artists about these sorts of things, but it isn’t the focal point of my own art, either. But I think it needs to be addressed.”

When he surfaced in 2012 with his full-length debut, “Time’s All Gone,” Waterhouse arrived at the tail end of a soul revival that had peaked with Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Of his white male contemporaries, Mayer Hawthorne, Allen Stone, and Brookline’s Eli “Paperboy” Reed were already rolling with the momentum.

Waterhouse seemed at ease with his influences — from songwriter Bert Berns to offbeat jazz artist Mose Allison — and how they shaped his own style. It’s interesting that both Hawthorne and Reed have moved beyond their R&B roots recently. On last year’s “Where Does This Door Go,” Hawthorne leaned more heavily toward pop, and on his forthcoming release, Reed goes full throttle with thumping, Top 40-friendly tunes. – [Boston Globe]

Classic soul and R&B devotee Nick Waterhouse‘s second album, Holly, is out this week (3/4) via Innovative Leisure and he was just in NYC for a show at Bowery Ballroom (2/27) with like-minded locals The Jay Vons and Daddy Long Legs. We’ve got pictures from that show in this post.

You can stream Nick’s new album in full via The New York Times. The West Coast leg of his tour starts this weekend. Those dates are listed, along with more pics from his Bowery show, below…
