<body><![CDATA[His Cherokee features and the modish hip-hop/country meldings of his 2001 debut, White Boy with a Feather, won Jason Downs fans and rave reviews. If only momentarily, he even diverted the attention of the notoriously fickle and style-obsessed fashion press. No doubt, as is its way, that circus will have too many new distractions to have much time for Downs now. But the American is better out of it, being so much more suited to the calmer, more reliable currents and tastes of drive-time radio playlists and 50-quid man. The Spin is tailor-made for both constituencies, with slick, strung-out urban funk such as Shut up Let’s Hook up, Got It Made and Dirty Mind crying out to be all over the airwaves this summer.
