[align=left]Contemporary pop is crowded withwannabes, young hopefuls of varying ability who will stop at nothing toachieve the alleged dream-state of fame. In that climate, we shouldcherish any artist who breaks through, while having higher, purelycreative goals in mind.[/align]
[align=left]At 24 years of age, Alan Pownall has theworld at his feet, and yet he has reached this favourable positionalmost in spite of himself. He is not one of those singer-songwriterswho regales you with stories of first picking up an acoustic guitar,aged 3, writing his first song in half an hour, and playing at 500open-mic folk nights before anyone had even heard of him.[/align]
[align=left]Alan makes no bones about the fact thathe first tackled the instrument in 2004, and that his path hassubsequently been somewhat charmed: after playing only three or fourgigs, he toured as a support act for Adele, and now is about to releasean album on one of the world’s biggest record labels.[/align]
[align=left]Pownall, though, is sure to be one of2010s brightest new stars. His song-craft feels so effortless – trackslike ‘Clara,’ a Kinksy, easy-strumming message to a tantalizingwould-be girlfriend (“you build me up to just let me fall”) breeze pastso sublimely tunefully — that one might almost imagine its creatornever breaks sweat.[/align]
[align=left]That impression, however, is deceptive:these past five years, Alan has taken musicianship and songwriting tothe point of obsession, trying on styles for size, changing direction,re-writing lyrics, tweaking melodies, adding and subtracting variousinstruments from his arrangements, reaching for perfection.[/align]
[align=left]The young South West Londoner was at artschool in Milan, when music-making first became a possibility for him.“I lived quite a reclusive existence there,” he says, chuckling as heremembers how inadvertently he discovered his own talent.[/align]
