Paul Draper – Things People Want (KScope)
 |
| Paul Draper - Things People Want |
Release Date: 11th August 2017
There has been something of a
slow creep about Paul Draper’s renaissance as a solo artist but this latest
single feels like he’s finally breaking through that glass wall of his former
band. ‘Things People Want’ definitely has a Mansun-esque vibe about it with the
dramatic, sweeping chorus and the multi-layered instrumentation that bleeds in
and out without any warning or pattern. But what this release really does is
give Draper’s voice a platform to show that he’s moved on to a more soulful,
more mature tone that speaks of his experience and wisdom. Draper was always an
arch story-teller, that was a natural teller, but now he has a voice worthy of
those stories and more experiences to sing about in the dulcet tone.
