So far it’s been bloody great. ‘Liverpool’ is a story telling number with heavy production whilst ‘Oh! What A Glorious Thing’ (also the lead single) is as good as you get in terms of feel good music. ‘Bankers’ is what PR drips would refer to as Akira’s ‘politically conscious, working class perspective’ number whilst ‘AIDS’ is the best pop song about the disease, ever.

Since tapping away at this, the other songs have played. Yes, I’m a slow typist. ‘London’ is a dark and gripping tune and ‘Back In The Day’ is a sweet slice of memory pie with one killer of a piano based beat. ’1234567′ is potentially an anthem and ‘Dead Babies’ is of a haunting piano which Akira laces with deep verses that’ll keep you gripped to the end.

‘Hypocrite’ concludes the ‘journeeeey maaaan’ in the same fashion the whole LP is dressed in – one of ripped jeans, tight t-shirts, rugged sneakers and ironed underwear. That’s right, with my great metaphorical skill, I’ve just told you this is a diverse, exciting and unique debut album. Don’t settle for something that’s been done a zillion times before. Buy Akira The Don, on all good stereos soon.
