| Chris Hurn - If I Were You |
Release Date: Out Now
There is no doubting or mistaking
that New Zealander Chris Hurn is a composer for film and computer games as well
as a regular musician in his own right. ‘If I Were You’ romps and bounds like
an excitable teen in a suburban slice of life movie featuring tortuous pregnant
pauses and the kind of sexual tension that only teenagers can have. Perky bass
licks and guitar flicks bounce around while those smooth vocals coast over like
ice cream melting on warm chocolate cake. Hurn sings “Here’s the thing, I’m not
stupid, I’m just optimistic” and that’s the very core of this song – unbridled optimism.
The video deserves special mention as well in all its Wes Anderson meets Flight
of Conchords glory. Quite the package then, Mr Hurn.
