Following on from the release of their last EP┬á’Lust & Lies’┬áa few months back, The Ramona Flowers’ new single ÔÇÿBrighterÔÇÖ is something which echoes this up-and-coming bandÔÇÖs potential for success. There are few bands around today that can mix a hint of rock, indie and electronica successfully, with a sense of raw passion, talent and hauntingly infectious lyrics; The Ramona Flowers can pull that off and ‘Brighter’┬áshows this while also being an outstanding follow-up single to ‘Lust & Lies’. Brighter┬áretains the emotional impact with a profound choice of lyrics but with a powerful refrain, enhanced through lead vocalist Steve BirdÔÇÖs passion, a more up-beat tempo and a heavier focus on a techno/electronica vibe. ItÔÇÖs distinctly similar yet remarkably different in the best possible way for a follow-up single.
If The Ramona Flowers can maintain their momentum with the courage to experiment in the ways that this single possesses then success is imminent. Keep your eyes open for their debut album!
