Razorlight - Somewhere Else

I've just resurfaced after dramatically delving with Johnny Borrell into his latest single. And I have to say I didn't wish I was 'somewhere else', for I rather liked it. In fact loved it.

Borrel's raspy vocals and impassioned singing always remind me of an over-zealous busker - though here he's accompanied by slick production: a slow-burning string section, pummeling pianos and samples of crowd chants. I speak of Johnny rather than the band as musically they've only ever wallowed in the golden frontman's shadow.

The domineering guitar strums are acoustic and, however animated and bold, take the spiky edge off Razorlight. However, it's not breezy like their other acoustic-laden single Golden Touch - rather, it cresendoes with all the intense gravitas and rousing passion of high drama. Dive in folks.
