X Ambassadors – Ahead of Myself

| X Ambassadors - Ahead of Myself |
Release Date: Out Now
I have to admit that US trio X Ambassadors
have passed me by up until now but I’m glad to have finally crossed paths with
these gents. ‘Ahead of Myself’ starts as with bare vocal line that is as
soulful as it is confessional. An acoustic guitar line and heartbeat pump join
in as this grows in confidence and stature in front of our eyes and ears. Eventually,
when the chorus drops, we’re somewhere between Passengers, Rudimental and
Bastille but with the kind vocals that Sam Smith can only dream of. There’s a
real sense of the bewilderment that will be familiar to anyone who’s been
through real heartbreak but all wrapped up in an anthemic alt-pop soul stomper.
