Yet another contender for the Coldplay, Keane, Athlete crown, Public
Symphony - duo Dobs Vye and James Reynolds - release a lush piano-strings
soft-rock ballad. Stronger, lifted from their self-titled album out April
10, is a stylish radio-friendly 3 minute 38 seconds worth of a taster of
what's to come later.
It's not outstanding or revolutionary in any way:
they're just adding to the already existing long list of bands doing the
mellow ditty rounds. Nothing memorable here, as it lacks a killer hook. It
sounds too 'perfect' for my liking.
