For when you get "lost in the circus," the standout from Amos Lee's debut is "Colors" - an endearing reminder of who we're trying to find. But there are great first impressions elsewhere on tracks like "Give It Up," whose foundation sounds like a reshaped "Use Me" from Bill Withers, and the opener, "Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight," which is gently placed atop a piano line that could've been plucked from Norah Jones' Come Away with Me. There are missteps, like the juxtaposition between the chunky delivery of the full title of "Keep it Loose..." as a hook against what is otherwise a well relaxed set of verses. But overall, Amos creates a jazz-infused blend of oft-melancholy (but not emo) gospel folk that even when it's sober never sucks the energy out of your headphones.
