Cosmo Jarvis? Cosmo Jarvis?

Ever heard of Cosmo Jarvis? Kid's awesome. Next big thing. Singer, Songwriter, Filmmaker, Rock N Rolla. Check him out. For real. And I'll say I told ya so.

Two weeks ago I picked up a magazine called MOJO, which is some sort of UK based music magazine....

Funny thing about MOJO... some people have it...some people DON'T... YOU know what I'm talking about... yeah you do.

Anyway, MOJO magazine has a section called FILTER ALBUMS, which rates and reviews roughly 70-75 albums. ONE of those albums is a 2 CD debut by a New Jersey born, Devon raised artist who goes by the name of Cosmo Jarvis.

"Jarvis is 19, but penned some of his 2 CD debut's 18 songs aged 17. Inarguably gifted, he makes films as well as writing, playing and brilliantly engineering his wildly inventive music. Disc 1, subtitled Humasyouhitch, corrals lighter Cosmo tunes that mostly concern growing pains and unattainable girls (Mel's song: Jessica Alba's Number). Scatalogical, if entertaining, couplets arre the only marker of our host's juvenesence. Maxine, for example, melds deft baroque pop flourishes and fine BLUR-like hooks. Things get much darker on disc 2, Sonafabitch. He Only Goes Out On Tuesdays, all foreboding strings strings and bleak Eminem style reportage, concerns child abuse, while parental divorce song song Problems has a grungy, wonderfully miffed sounding chorus. Cosmo's switches between the grim and the ribald might sound problematic, but his debut is careful to isolate these qualities on separate discs. A fab new talent with imagination overload." (Mojo Music Magazine, Dec 2009)

So the fact that this kid is New Jersey born is what caught my eye, the review piqued my interest, and everything I found on his website kind of blew me away, just the fact that this kid is 19 years old and he has a body of work (Some of it created when he was 13-15 years old!!!), that some artists would spend a lifetime constructing. I love that he is writing and directing short films, which are alll fairly decent, as well as writing and performing music... and I have to say... his music is kind of awesome... He has a ton of tracks on his website for anyone to listen to...and already Ive found a dozen or so that I really like... songs that I found myself sitting there and bobbing my head to.

And I'm just talking about the stuff he's got on his website... I havaent even heard the stuff that's coming out on the double album. Cosmo's 2 CD debut is not yet available in the US... but dropped a few weeks ago in the UK... I did catch the video he has for the song PROBLEMS on Youtube... and I like it... I like it alot.

So I'm gonna say it ... I'm gonna call it... right here, right now.... Cosmo Jarvis is gonna be big.... the kid is for real... mark my words... and check out his stuff...

its good.
