Pure Pop Heaven With A Healthy Sprinkling Of Rock
Sweeping in with a jingling melodic pop guitar riff that could have been stolen the 60s, The New Shapes latest single release 'There's No Escaping You' magically opens out into a slice of pure pop heaven sprinkled with just enough rock to give it that all vital kick and oomph. 'There's No Escaping You' merrily trips along on a cheery beat that clings to the last breath of summer as the cold winter nights loom whilst lead singer Mark R's raw soulful voice offers an organic feel to the tune; its the Beatles meets the Beach Boys with a glint of Oasis shining through and an almost Libertines sheen residing underneath. Shimmying along, 'There's No escaping You' is the quintessential Jekyll and Hyde song with pop fuelled beats that conjure images of days out in the hot sun mingling with cheerless lyrics about how "...they build me up to let me down and there's no way of turning it round", perfectly marrying joy and gloom. The ideal track for whatever mood you may be in, good or bad.
