Like early 80s Bono, say Hot Press…

Posted in News on November 21st, 2007 by webmaster

Irish music mag Hot Press have likened Paul’s vocals to “an early 80’s Bono”, in a review of the latest single, ‘Even though you’re gone’. A spokesperson for Paul has revealed that, while the adoption of a mullet has been ruled out, there is every likelihood that he might temporarily abandon the stage, during performance, to dance with random (female) members of the audience.

Single Review: ‘Even Though You’re Gone’ (Hot Press)

November 2007

At first listen, this solid piano-based ballad has Coldplay written all over it, and indeed Hourican’s vocals fall somewhere between that band’s Chris Martin and an early 80’s Bono. The coincidences don’t end there, either - the soaring guitar riff that fills the last minute is pure U2. Despite the epic nature of the chorus, there is a restraint which suggests that Hourican knows that big isn’t always better. One to watch.
