The song itself opens with a dramatic guitar strums that will inevitably be compared to Avicii’s Hey Brother. “I tried to believe in Elvis and James Dean but Hollywood sold out” he sings, before the whole things drops away and morphs into a chorus that is short on lyrics but big on hooks. “Now I know my heart is a Ghost Town” he declares over a spacious house beat and – crucially - a ludicrously catchy whistle that immediately lodges itself in the brain.
Quote:
The whole thing continues to grow from there. Adam’s vocal and Max’s carefully layered production build up towards a climatic middle 8 that results in an explosion of whistles, guitars and stabbing synths on the finale. It’s big, but it’s not over-sung; the opposite of what was quite rightly required of Adam during his recent tour with Queen.
bye!
