Tuesday Heartbreak - Poor Little Rich Girl/Tuesday

Timeless British pop that brings to mind everyone from The Beatles to the Kinks and Magic Numbers to Belle And Sebastian. ‘Poor Little Rich Girl’ begins with a drum roll then a spiralling guitar pops its head around and spins you around facing the sky and gives you a little wink to make you smile.

Telling the story or a rich girl who finds it hard to make friends and tells tales of love, family deaths, beaches in the south of France and settling down before 33. This could be about anyone of the well-known fashionistas in London, but this matters little as it all about the ridiculously infectious melodies and “whooooo” harmonies. 

‘Tuesday’ follows a different path, musically it follows a little of Bloc Party’s early work but this has far more melodies. Most notably the chiming guitar and minimal drumming during the verses gives it an edgy quality and the vocals have a less poppier approach to them.  A promising debut.
