The 1975 the 1975 deluxe11/7/2022 ![]() ![]() The Prince-influence on the band is showcased in this track’s guitar motif from the get-go, in a riff that could have easily been an outtake from ‘Kiss’. Heavy reverb and harmony on the vocals reinforce the dark and deeply personal lyrics, further emphasised by Healy’s emotional, soaring voice. The sensual ditty speaks of relationships the unadvised and addictive.Ī calmer, sexier offering from the band, really the first of its kind on the album. The album’s ninth track is a catchy fusion of 80s nostalgia and modern synth accents. The happy guitar hook and trademark drum beat will have heads nodding immediately. Written about Healy’s obsession with Michael Jackson, the track does bear some loose resemblance to Jackson songs like ‘P.Y.T’ and ‘Rock With You’. ![]() The chorus is anthemic and harmony-filled - something The 1975 have mastered with ease. Sounding a little like French pop collective College – there’s synth, sax and a ton of 80s electro pop vibe – with elements of Eurythmics and even a little bit of Fleetwood Mac decoration thrown in. ![]() Trippy but no less musically individual than the other tracks. Bassist Ross McDonald is showcased in this groove-led track, grounding it, while Healy implores us (or, you know, society) to shut up, yelling “Why you talk so loud?”Ī short, minute-long instrumental interlude that is ethereal and floats above us, on another plane of reality somewhere. The busy, almost unpredictable rhythm which opens the track is confusing at first but eventually settles down and becomes a slick, slower-paced groove. It has an almost Band of Horses-style feel, and Matthew Healy’s soaring vocals are reminiscent of Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill. It deserves a massive stadium to really do it justice. The track certainly lives up to its name exploring themes of lust and infidelity, coupling that with powerful, coarse guitar lines and drum-fuelled goodness. & amp amp amp amp lt br& amp amp amp amp gt Matthew Healy’s yodelling vocals and crystal clear tone have had us hitting the repeat button for months on this one. Unbelievably catchy guitar hooks and a clap-along beats belie dark subject matter of a drug-addled, crime-fuelled youth. Awesome.Īlready a radio favourite, this track is most likely the song by which most of us know the band. & amp amp amp amp amp amp lt br& amp amp amp amp amp amp gt Ĭomprising more of the favoured robotic-style harmonies, the track has a syncopated rhythm and eventually develops into a cool R’n’B style groove. The chorus is anthemic and just made for crowd sing-a-longs with its single, flippant line ‘If you wanna find love you know where the city is.’ Bang - we're hooked. Fading in with robotic (in a good, Daft Punk sort of way) harmonies and rising dramatically to a crescendo until it cuts out so sharply you end up pressing 'forward' repeatedly to see what comes next.Ī song that encapsulates the hallmark The 1975 style with an infectious beat, happy tune and heavy drums. This intro track sets the tone for what’s to come on the album. A self-titled song, for a self-titled album. ![]()
