Single title: Action)
Artist: Simon Breed – Devastating Sky (Re
Label: Re-Action
Singer-songwriters with a penchant for introspective ballads are ten a penny these days. But Simon Breed is different. Rather than pertaining to the formulaic quick win of a heart-tugging lament, the gushing sound of new single Devastating Sky has been produced in a decidedly more cantankerous manner. A kaleidoscopic symphony of despairing vocals infused with sonic giddiness, the love-struck verses are guided from the sewers of melancholic darkness by an elated astral-gazing chorus. The airwaves may be awash with dirge by Blunt and Morrison, but the UK has unearthed a sparkling new gem in Simon Breed. [Billy Hamilton]
