TImberlake gotta cry June 22, 2007
Fan Chen
In his debut album Holly, 18 year-old Canadian Justin Nozuka has created eleven impressive pieces of thoughtful acoustic-soul. Filled with understated melodies, minimal production and an interesting, sometimes dark take on song-craft, it comes as something of a surprise from one so young.
@@Justin likes to tell his stories from an unusual angle, evident in the very first track ''Down In A Cold Dirty Well'f where he takes the perspective of a man whose thoughts run back over his life while he is trapped...yes, at the bottom of a well. e'Save Him'' is another great example of Justinfs curious viewpoint; in one of the highlights of the album, he heart-rendingly sings of overhearing the development of an abusive relationship in the flat next door.
@@Of course in this genre it just wouldnft be cricket if we didnft have a few obvious love songs, and in this case they are provided by the colourful and optimistic beauty e'Golden Trainf' and the repetitive but spellbinding single-to-be e'After Tonightf'.
@@Justinfs voice suits his compositions perfectly, he has a rich, throaty mid-range, great for the bluesy elements, but he also has the ability and confidence even have a crack at some Timberlake-style highs, although he can sometimes go a little far and ends up sounding contrived and slightly parodic. That said this is still a superb album, filled with
raw quality. Just enjoy.
I love this CD May 6, 2008

I downloaded it last night and have listened to "Holly" twice since then. With each listen it makes the cd overall that much better even though i was throughly impressed with it the first time through. I didn't really have an idea of who he was. I found out a bit more through an Entertainment Weekly mention of him along with a few other artists.
"Holly" is like a musical ride into the mind of an 18 year old as he expresses his feelings on life, love and all else that he encounters on a daily basis. Excellent first effort from this talented musician/singer and hope its a signed of bigger things to come in the future. The Justin that i'm so into right now...not JT...Justin Nozuka.
Unbeliveable!!! June 28, 2008

Jeanne Nguyen (Telford, Pennsylvania United States)
Before actually buying the CD, I read from some other people that it was a great CD so I just took the chance and bought it, hoping that I would like it. Normally, this isn't the type of music I listen to, but it was a pleasant surprise. I feel like some of the lyrics could have been a little better, but it was still good. It's deep and from the heart and there's something about his voice that is just wonderful.
