Be right back, just off to find 2017 me – singing and dancing with my best pal and having the time of my life feeling overwhelming emotions at the farewell Maccabees gig at Ally Pally – and tell her that all is fine, Orlando Weeks’ isn’t that easy to get rid of, musically speaking. Thank god for that!
I haven’t got a press release for this one, nobody else’s fancy words to use to talk about it, but I felt a compulsion to share the news of one of my favourite tracks of the last week, and the delightful album news which accompanied the release. The track is Look Who’s Talking Now – and it, and the accompanying video, are pure joy. Through his work with the band, Orlando’s vocals have soundtracked a long stretch of my life, and this latest single feels like the return of an old friend. There’s a nostalgic vibe to this one and I am, once again, feeling all of the feelings at the hands of this man.
