Newman's style is rather retro and vintage; high contrasts of black and white with splashes of bold colours. His facial expression in bith his album and single CD covers is quite reflective, which links to the style of his songs, as they often follow themes of love, regret and forgiveness; not giving up. He explains that his album is a break up album. Most of his influences come from blues/jazz music after he worked in a bar, which he expands on below:
In the cover of his Love Me Again single and the Tribute album, his retro influences are clear to see. From this, we can tell that his music will be more than a pop/indie album; it is a throwback and vintage with a modern twist. The colour contrasts add energy to what would have been a purely blackand white album, which again relates to the style of his music
In terms of his fashion style, his love of vintage and retro comes through in this sense too. In love me again music video, the dancers all were very 60's style clothing, so floral dresses with slim waists and bold skirts and casual suits. Newman's hair also reminds me of the 60's aura, due to the statement quiff and slight colour streak. So in conclusion, his retro roots have had a huge influence on the style of his music as well as his look.
