Ben Kweller – Sha Sha

Artist: Ben Kweller

Title: Sha Sha

Label: ATO

Rating: 5.5/10

Ben Kweller is only twenty and already shows he’s ready to rock with the likes of Ben Folds.

Sha Sha:
“Wasted & Ready” and “Commerce, TX” – they’re not great, more interesting.
“Walk On Me” – a good song about failed love.
“Falling” – a lovely little track.

Blah Blah:
“How It Should Be (Sha Sha)” – as interesting as it sounds it still doesn’t hold up to a Jason Falkner or Ben Folds via musicality or depth.
“Family Tree” – although the harmonies sound nice, the song has nothing to offer.
“Make It Up” – a little too quirky.

Ben Kweller has a great deal of talent for a twenty year old. He wears his mentors on his sleeve too often.
