Thom Cross - Heavy Sea
 |
| Thom Cross - Heavy Sea |
It's always slightly
disconcerting these days when somebody refers to themselves as being a bit like
Bono or Bowie. It may be a very British thing but comparing yourself to Rock
Royalty when you're just starting out is a hugely brave thing to do and not
something we always applaud as such, preferring to see it as misplaced
arrogance. However, the Bono comparisons levelled at Mr Thom Cross are entirely
reasonable based on the evidence within 'Heavy Sea' as he channels the latter
day Bono Vox's vocal style and emotive singing. The Bowie comparison is a
little harder to see but there is a certain groove to the music that you could
image Mr Stardust busting some serious moves to in a powder blue suit with
ridiculous lapels. I say we should applaud the ambition shown by Thom Cross and
hope that he goes on to reach the heights of his heroes - lord knows we need
some new, real superstars.
