Theo & Adam AKA HURTS have been soothing my soul for the last few years, their debut album was an absolute religion for me. For so many months I lived and breathed their music, so when they dropped their first single earlier this year I was immediately in love all over again and brought me the brink of excitement for their 2nd album 'Exile' which was released last week.
I have listened non stop to the album for the last week and have a few stand out tracks. One in particular I want to mention is 'Blind'. The instrumentation throws me back to the Timbaland-esk era of production which when done by Timabaland himself today sounds like a trainwreck, but when Theo and Adam do it, it creates a masterpiece. The soaring chorus literally lifts me even though the lyrics aren't in any way uplifting (Cut out my eyes, And leave me Blind). My favourite lyrics from the track are these ones (Cause after the beauty we've destroyed, I'm cascading through the void, I know in time our hearts will mend, I don’t care if I never see again). This track takes myself on a journey through someone elses heartache, This album is definitely a darker side that we hadn't seen yet but I love it.
I definitely think that 'Exile' will be one of the best albums in my end of year list, there is something with every track that I love.
