Despite the hype wonderful ...

Hype - for the music lover a dangerous word!
Mostly hidden behind hype but only bubbles that burst at a closer look and leave nothing that would not have been previously known.
In this respect, it is almost surprising how very worthy of the hype surrounding the British Hurts was and maybe a little bit necessary. Not only for the band, for the listener, who must indeed find their way in the boundless music Jungle always new bands and trends and hypes only once.
The two pretty Britons with simple optics, only a few press images, even fewer appearances and wisely scattered information to their people so act unlike many stars and starlets these days, lay with "Happiness" an outstanding debut album before, an album whose 11 tracks pleasantly build around About song "Wonderful Life" around.

Silver Lining - a quiet opener that opens perfect as perfect example of the good songwriting, the great sense of melody and the remarkably soulful vocal performance by singer Hutchcraft album.
Wonderful Life - who has previously never heard this song must have barricaded themselves really well in recent months. Whether Internet, radio, television or music div TV reports -. Wonderful Life is represented everywhere and rightly so. A classic-style perfectly produced catchy, the refrain becomes fixed in your mind.
Blood, Tears & Gold - nice quiet ballad
Sunday - in addition to Better Than Love of electronic, flotteste song, quite conceivable as a further single that then can not save itself from permanent airplay, no wonder, the song has a wonderfully with strings underlying singalong chorus first class!
Stay - the choir in the chorus ballad scratch the kitsch ceiling ... still beautiful, powerful song.
Illuminated - goosebumps at each other and higher tone in the chorus!
Evelyn - for me the only song that I do not really listen to. Boring.
Better Than Love - the second single, a catchy pop song first class, stomping electronically ear.
Devotion - nice song, but the help of Kylie Minogue was not necessary, Hutchcraft could carry the song well alone!
Unspoken - I knew the song first as a remix and therefore the ballad version was a little strange at first. However, the song wins with each pass of strength and represents one of the highlights of the disc is - bombastic ballad, more almost can not put it in a song you :)
The Water - the best for last? Not quite, but this ballad offers the perfect finish. Only a piano and Hutch Crafts voice, later supported by strings, produce goosebumps. Hutchcraft sets the end everything again in power and expression in the song ...

All in all it can be seen as quite positive that almost no one could at this tape past through media work.
Sure, the album is not for everyone, but it involves mostly ballads and great, if not largest gestures.
Nevertheless, one should a round the listening!
For friends of intensive listening sessions absolutely recommended ..... if the guys continue to do it than here? That's actually not important, because an outstanding panel which has quite Potzenzial to last, they have already given us.
