Third single I Will Come To Youis up next, and this feels like it may have been a contender for a Christmas No. If you’ve got kids, you’ll appreciate the cuteness of this in a nativity concert kind of way, but to others it will feel a bit saccharine. The vocals are delicate, the sound is softer, and he sounds slightly nervous as his older brothers deliver some kind of Beatles-esque backing vocals. I’m guessing that next song Lucy is where little Zac gets his turn on lead vocals. In the last minute, I get echoes of James Brown. Why this didn’t get released as the final single in place of Thinking Of You, i’ll never understand. Taylor makes light work of the vocals here, and shows off his range perfectly. This is quite an upbeat track, packed with lyrics. Look At You follows this, and we’re back to bass and funky guitar. At around 3 mins in, there’s some wonderfully warm vocal harmonies. Vocals and lyrics shine here alongside this minimal beat and swooping strings track. Isaac shows off his more raw older vocals here, which sit perfectly against Taylor’s softer tone.ĭramatic piano ushers in Yearbook, sounding a little bit like a piano version of Backstreet Boys‘ Larger Than Life, before switching over to a slow but epic bass drum and cello led ballad. This is definitely a difficult song to not sing or tap foot to. This feels like a companion to MmmBop in pace and style and was therefore unsurprisingly the follow-up to it. Up next is second single Where Is The Love?, which is another brilliantly catchy song that roars in with a wonderful drum roll from Zac. Speechless follows this and this is a great little funky, catchy song, with some great vocal harmonies going on. Sadly this song only reached #19 on the UK singles chart, and really deserved to be a number one. Gone are the roaring guitar, and the catchy high-pace chorus – this song gently plods along, and has some great vocal harmonies. It’s a ballad, and this song is pure genius. The third song is Weird, no, that’s the title. Listening back to this song, i’m instantly reminded of how this musically sounds like a kid’s version of The Spin Doctors‘ hit Two Princes (definitely in the verse, partially in the chorus). The chorus is by far the catchiest part – complete with guitar and record scratches, and of course those trusty ‘ ba duba dop, Ba du bop, ba duba dop, Ba du bop, ba duba dop, Ba du‘ lyrics that have been helping people to sing along to nonsense ever since. This song catapulted them to the attention of the media and the record buying public, who rewarded them with a UK #1. That huge debut song is up next, yes, the song that Hanson are synonymous with – MmmBop. I could imagine Natalie Imbruglia covering this and making it all okay. This song isn’t particularly catchy, although it has some good guitar sections in it. L.T.Z.This 13 track album opens with fifth and final single Thinking Of You, a mid-tempo song, which feels a bit of an odd mellow place to start. Published on WoRm - "Netflix N Trill" feat.
