Single Review
TENEK wouldn’t allow themselves too much of a break after the release of their widely-acclaimed debut ‘Stateless’. They quickly were on to the next full-length, in-between touring a bit and playing some apparently great shows, I sadly failed to catch one of them, but I’m working on getting this done. Anyway, the new album entitled ‘On The Wire’ will be out some time this summer, heralded by the single ‘Blinded By You’ which is the topic of this little review here. The single counts 3 tracks in total and is started by the single mix of ‘Blinded By You’, a sweeping compound of an 80s-inspired rhythm foundation and, something that strikes you with the first words, grand vocals. There’s apparently been a lot of improvement in that department since we’ve heard them last.
The single’s B-side ‘Synchronise’ is being driven by a rhythmic pulse that is immediately after its start commanding for people to get to the nearest dance floor they can find. Add to this treated guitar and bass and you’ll understand how infectious this one is. The third place in the tracklist is occupied by the extended club version of the title track which is literally designed for dancing. The single deserves the word appetizer ‘On The Wire’. In fact, I can hardly wait to hear the entire full-length, because what I got to hear now is really promising.
