"Let me introduce you to a new idea..."

It's called Henry Priestman. You've probably never heard of him. Like i hadn't, until about a month ago when i stumbled across his album on spotify. Being a fellow child of Hull i decided to give it a listen and was hooked. The stories that run through the songs present a bleak existence of redundancy and relationship break-ups but through the use of catchy melodies you can't help but sing along. The stand-out songs have to be "Don't You Love Me No More?" a tale of redundancy and a feeling of being cast aside, and "It's Called a Heart" a catchy tune that's forever on repeat on my iPod. Although the songs may seem to be about situations only the older generations may have experienced, the song-writing allows anyone of any age to emphasise with the singer, and therefore is definatly worth a listen.
