| I’ve heard some half-baked shite in my time, but ‘Break the Night with Colour’ by Richard Ashcroft really takes the fucking biscuit. |
| |
The first, hugely unpromising, single from forthcoming album Keys to the World, it is an unspeakably tedious, tuneless dirge, marred by excessive use of that much-abused musical instrument, the piano, and that whiney mid-Atlantic vocal delivery favoured by Ashcroft and singers of a similar vein.
It is quite rare to find a song so devoid of any merit that you could not imagine who on earth it could ever appeal to – even Mr Terry Wogan would blanch at blandness on this unprecedented scale. Around the two-minute mark, distressed at the prospect of being professionally obliged to sit through the second half, I started vainly scanning the press bumf to glean what exactly Mr Ashcroft was hoping to achieve, only to find that - tellingly - it did not mention the song at all.
And that title! Just take a minute to read it and let the full horror sink in. Richard Ashcroft, sir, what were you thinking?

But hasn't he always been this bad? I've always thought so, anyway...
