This is a stonker of a track from Barbara. Electric piano put through a slight phaser for the intro, it comes at you with the feel of a musical theatre song, you can just imagine the gaudy colours and big gestures. Just to add to that the big vocals with harmonies panned left and right a la Bohemian Rhapsody, plus big string and brass arrangements! I love the way the drums are playing a march at the beginning \u2013 it could be a march \u2013 I reckon it could be a free form jazz part that falls into the groove heading into the pre-chorus. This reminds me a little bit of The Feeling, but also that refreshing 80s vibe.<\/p>\n<p>All in all?<\/p>\n<p>Great track.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barbara<\/strong> are brothers Henry and John Tydeman from Hove, and they list 70s US AM radio, English music hall, the effortless catchiness of a Broadway musical, a sprinkling of sequinned power pop, luscious Disney strings, and glorious golden harmonies as part of their DNA.<\/p>\n<p>Also, incorporating Chattanooga Choo Choo by Glenn Miller Band? Loved it.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well! This is a stonker of a track from Barbara.
