His last album may have been called The Big Romance, but now we know that David Kitt was just getting started. Yes, the laid-back Dubliner has found true love - and on the soporific Square 1, he's determined to let us know all about it. Which is less than good news for his admirers as, to the old Kitt formula of gentle guitars and quirky electronica, you can now add a hefty dollop of wide-eyed wonder and slack-jawed sentimentality. If you've just found your own soul-mate, you may find these child-like love songs to be the perfect musical accompaniment. If not, it's all a little on the dull side. Compared to some of his imitators Kittser is still a class act; his intricate arrangements and soulful vocals are as quietly beautiful as ever. But next time out, he needs to find some more interesting subject material.
