El Perro Del Mar – Change of Heart
As melancholic as it may have been, Sarah Assbring won a lot of hearts with El Perro Del Mar. Now testifying to the remedial powers of love and music, the Swede seems to have picked herself up considerably for its sequel, From the Valley to the Stars. But despite fuller arrangements, the album felt more like a collection of ditties than songs, the lyrics rarely extending beyond the refrain of the title and the overall tone too consistent for its own good.
Change of Heart is to be the first single from Assbring’s forthcoming mini-album Love Is Not Pop. This time, the talk of change seems to have materialised: this one has a slinky beat and an ’80s-tastic guitar/bass pairing. Perfect for a night time scene, post-lovers’ tiff in the John Hughes movie that never was.
Love Is Not Pop is out on 1 April.
