Simone And Girlfunkle – Hurry, Harry (Firestarter Distribution)
Simone And Girlfunkle are a female fronted Perth band and their music to me is folk mixed with pop and this is their album Hurry, Harry and is fine representation of what they are all about, its a solid début album that deserves you ears. The first song Summer Rain is a beautiful song that catchy and good way to start the album, The vocals and musicianship is amazing. Casanova is a good song is a simple layered tune, the vocals are amazing, the lyrics are good and shows off the songwriting which they are very good at. Love, Love, Love is a beautiful tune, the use of the vocals are amazing on this song, the use of instruments just work for the tune, beautiful songwriting. It’s an amazing tune. Blown Into The Win, is another amazing song, the use of the vocals along each other just work, the use of guitar and the other instruments on the song just work well together. Forever More is another solid tune, vocals and uke are just nice partnership together, they just jell together well and makes for a great tune. Heart Goes Pitter Patter another incredible tune, solid musicianship, great lyrics, solid melodies and those vocals just work well. Secret is my pick off the album, solid song, the musicianship is solid here, its a catchy tune, good lyrics and solid vocals. The use of the drums are good here. Venus is more a laid back tune it kind of has dark haunting edge to it, there is fewer instruments used here so amazing vocals get to shine here. Good tune. Seasides is kind of anthem to me some what, it’s starts off softly with guitar and vocals then becomes this full beautiful amazing song. Time Song is the same deal as Seasides, starts of softly with guitar and becomes this amazing tune, with solid musicianship, melodies, vocals and lyrics. Find Me is the perfect way to finish off an album, vocals and a uke, it’s heaven. This album to me ticks off all the boxes, solid songwriting, amazing vocals, great melodies, solid musicianship, good lyrics and great production. It’s seriously just an amazing beautiful dreamy album. If you’re looking for a good folky pop band then give Simone And Girlfunkle a go, You won’t take this CD out of your player for a very long time.
