HIS songs may have featured on more than 100 film soundtracks but Joshua Radin doesn't have a label for his latest album. Instead he has written, recorded, produced and even self-released The Fall, falling just short of delivering it by hand.

This is record number seven from the 42-year-old singer-songwriter from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and Radin's cottage industry is working just fine. His production skills are light and airy, never over-decorating ten acoustic songs of a largely sunny disposition, often as perky as coffee and quietly lovely.

There's nothing showy or artful about Radin. Instead he trusts a melody, heartfelt tales of "I and you", and a one-to-one intimacy in his sweet, sweet voice, especially on the beautiful Falling and two songs that lead the way from the dark, Enough For You and Keep The Darkness Away.

The regulation tempo is an elegant stride, too much so in truth, and this is what divides him from his most obvious influence, Paul Simon. More stand-outs with the extra punch of High And Low would have been welcome.
