Upfront Reviews - 18.06.07: Singles.
Ryan Adams
Two/Halloween Head (Lost Highway 1735574)
If you don't get Ryan Adams by now, chances are that this - the lead single from his ninth solo album - is not going to change your mind. Which is a loss really, as this seven inch's lead track is a breezy summer ballad sweetened by Sheryl Crow's delicate tones, while the rocking Halloween Head boasts an irresistible chorus. Still the king of alt. country.
Ash
Polaris (Infectious ASH06CDH)
Penned at Bono's holiday home in the south of France after a chance meeting between Tim Wheeler and the U2 frontman, Polaris is a heart- breaking ballad and a return to form for the Northern Irish Britpoppers. The song's piano intro is the original recording from Bono's pad, underpinned with strings. But nothing prepares you for the soaring chorus. This one is bound to be a big hit and is getting strong radio support from all the major radio stations.
