Madame Helga is the first taster
for the new Stereophonics album You Gotta Go
There To Come Back, and represents something of a
return to the raw, untampered form of their Word Gets
Around debut.
The encouraging signs are plenty
of distortion, the familiar tobacco-inflected vocals
from Kelly Jones and a guitar riff in the chorus that
lodges itself firmly in your brain, particularly if
you've strayed near the radio in the last couple of
weeks.
A surefire hit then, and one
that should get the 'Dadrock' police off their backs
for a while. Hope the album's as good!
