Delights - 'I Think You Should Know'
Delights continue to gather attention from all angles with their stunning new single ‘I Think You Should Know’.
As the second instalment from the band’s upcoming debut album, the latest offering has been eagerly anticipated. Their first single from the upcoming release was extremely well received, and left fans hungry for more.
‘I Think You Should Know’ kicks off with a bassline that will have heads bopping. Within seconds, the group’s creative authenticity is apparent. All members combine to create a vibrant sound full of shimmers and jangles, all held together by the beautifully mysterious bassline which remains constant.
Lead singer Adam Maxwell’s performance is quite the statement. His voice truly tops off the sound that the group achieve. His sonic palette is shown off in the duration of the track. This is particularly notable in the song’s choruses, where the band work together to compliment the high notes of Maxwell’s voice as he sings the words: “I think you should know by now, can you keep a secret?”
The lyrics of the chorus match the mysterious and ultra-cool tone set by Delights. ‘I Think You Should Know’ oozes real confidence. It feels like the track is the ultimate teaser for what may be in store for the rest of the record, with the band keeping everyone’s eyes and ears very much fixed on their kaleidoscopic sound.
On the inspiration of the track, the band have said: “the song centres around ideas of curiosity, innocence and mystique. It also underlines the explorative nature of where we are as a band, from a writing perspective, but from a personal perspective too.” This feel of curiosity is beautifully embodied by all members of Delights. Each instrumental offering to the track builds on this feel and creates an uber-cool track that climaxes in its immediately catchy choruses.
With the debut album ‘If Heaven Looks A Little Like This’ due for release in September, and a strong run of tour dates on the horizon, Delights could well be about to rise astronomically. Keep your eyes and ears fixed on what may come next.
