Powerful in its vulnerability. Never before has Cullum exposed himself as much as on the studio album Taller. In his lyrics, the talented British singer-songwriter speaks honestly about his feelings about the painful rawness of existence. At the same time, the album is a heartwarming love letter to his wife. Cullum also uses humor, for example by referring to his small stature in the title track:
'I wish I was taller'. Cullum's wide variety of arrangements is exciting. He packs his vulnerable stories just as well in quiet piano ballads as in extrovert songs with a solid beat that are laced with funk, jazz, pop, gospel and electronics. (SvdP)more
