  Vicky Smith, Matchbox Records, London, UK, 01.10.02,  review of Ike Moriz's 'Fall Into the Sun' (EP/single, London, UK): Staying in true English guitar pop mode we move onto a very new and fast rising star  IKE   MORIZ  (originally from Cape Town/SA). This enigmatic solo artist delivers the bright and poppy classic "Fall into the sun". This song was recorded with Steve Kent who has in the past worked with George Michael ( yes from Wham). This song is not Club Tropicana but a very poppy and especially catchy song reminiscent of Ike's hero Bowie and a bit like Suede vocally also. Saying that the main strength to this song is the unstoppable and extremely catchy and warm chorus. This very well produced song also comes packed with everything from a string  section on the chorus to dreamy shimmering guitars and falsetto Brett Anderson could never have reached . It also boasts a very uplifting feeling and once you've heard it ...

Normally I don't like to put a label on music or try to compare artists with each other, but these are not the least ones to be compared with."

Indiepop Spinzone, Pennsylvania, USA, Sept 2002 : Review of 'Fall Into the Sun' (Ike Moriz's debut EP/single, Mosquito Records London): Hip-ometer Rating ~ 9  Ike Moriz - "Fall Into the Sun EP"  Our Ike here is another bloke from South Africa and a friend of Dale Olivier who pointed him in my direction, whereupon he sent me this EP. He has been in a few other bands in and around Europe, but this is his first attempt at a solo career. (and it is a self released effort) The title track is very unusual in that it seems to tread in very modern waters while retaining many elements of 70's solo styling. He has quite an articulate voice and isn't afraid to use it, in almost a Bowie-esque way but with far more range. That was what probably made me unsure of this at first, as that isn't the kind of thing many can do so you don't exactly hear it often. The song itself is upbeat, but more ballad like than a true pop single. The sort ...

Matchbox Recordings, London, UK, 01.09.02, review of Ike Moriz's debut single/EP 'Fall Into the Sun' (Mosquito Records London): New solo artist IKE MORIZ releases this great new three track EP. "Fall Into The Sun" EP was produced at  Tin Pan Alley studios by Steve Kent, who has previously worked  with George Michael. Drawn to Ike’s surprising mix of enigmatic  lyrics and catchy melodies, Steve strengthened this paradox  by adding deceptively simple guitar hooks. Based in London, Ike is of South African/German descent. His new style has emerged from his diverse musical experiences, fronting bands in Cape Town, Rotterdam and Hamburg, usually performing his own material. This EP features the title track " Fall into the sun" with it's extremely catchy and bright chorus and Bowie/Suede Esq. feel. Expect loads of falsetto and heartfelt vocals and lyrics from this new class A entertainer. For full tracklisting click above.
