Athena Andreadis has made an impressive start to her career. She is not yet signed to a record label, and has only just released an independently produced EP, Snapshot, that shows off her high, clear vocals and ability to match new songs in English with more traditionally influenced Greek material. It's an odd mixture, but she has already established a devoted following, as she showed by her ability to reduce even the often boisterous Jazz Cafe crowd to a reverential hush.

It's easy to understand the attraction. She's young, good-looking, and her best song, the gently exquisite Green Eyes, deserves to be a hit. But despite all this, her live show failed to have the impact of that first recording, partly because she seemed strangely unfocused, trying a bit of everything.

Dressed like a pop star in a little black dress and boots, backed by an impressive guitarist and double bass player, and by her own occasional piano work, she concentrated largely on slow, personal and pained songs in English. She has written some thoughtful lyrics, but songs like All I See Is You or Recently Scarred are better suited to a singer with a more soulful, approach and less harsh-edged vocals.

Mixed with all this were the occasional global influences. Brought up in the UK and Greece, Athena is bilingual, and it would have been good to have heard more in Greek, especially as she seemed more relaxed singing easy-going dance songs like Kanarini Mou Glyko. Then there were the real oddities, from an unlikely if impressive demonstration of Mongolian throat singing, with a growled vocal and flute-like harmony both audible at once, through to folk song Black Is the Colour, with her clear vocal matched against bowed bass work. Athena may be brave and original, but this display of unexpected styles and techniques was strangely lacking in emotion.
