…I’ve Been Thinkin About You…
Sixty days since the release of Only Just Begun, in the middle of a headlining tour that sees the band ripping it up in Guildford tonight, and hey why not release a new single, so yea here we go, New Music Friday rolls again with Marseille 2.0 holding nothing back….Thinker!
Straight off, lyrically and musically, the track wastes no time wrapping you up in intimate feelings of suffering and regret, while the complexly layered melody hooks you in, the riffs carry you away on the feeling. From those gentle acoustic lines, there’s an incredible sense of peace and familiarity invoked in the opening that carries itself through to it’s inevitable dramatic conclusion.
The track is a shining performance, a vocal tour de force, blending a luscious harmony while the vocal lays bare Will’s emotion and charisma. It’s poignant in it’s message, and rapturous in it’s delivery!
Thinker is going to resonate with new fans and those already firmly in the Marseille camp. Yea it’s a proper chill vibe, but it’s full of complex swagger and attitude that comes from band’s belief that this is their year, …and I believe that too. Comparisons have and will be made, but who really cares, our roots run deep and the music connects us! Nothing stays the same, everything changes, that’s life….Marseille figured that part out!
