Abi Wade – A Bit Like Love

| Abi Wade - A Bit Like Love |
Release Date: Out Now
There are a few things that
Britain is adept at producing at the moment; inept politicians, bang average
football players and just terrible, terrible television. However, we also seem
to have hit a rich seam of strong, creative and genuinely engaging female solo
artists which is a joy to behold. Londoner Abi Wade is the latest one to come
along and, apart from the headache inducing press picture, this is a
near-perfect alt-pop single. ‘A Bit Like Love’ is centred around a set of sombre
piano chords and Wade’s smoothly assured vocal that is matched only by her glorious
Cello playing. There is something almost otherworldly about this piece that is
touched by winter and crisp white light as it builds with an almost military
beat cracking the icicles from the tree. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard
a song build from such humble beginnings to a glorious crescendo and then ebb
away again but ‘A Bit Like Love’ does this wonderfully. Along with Vei and
Poppy Ackroyd, Abi Wade is one of the most genuinely intriguing new female
talents that I’ve had the pleasure of being introduced to recently. More
please.
