FIVE O FIVES RELEASE NEW SINGLE 'IF YOU WON'T SAY IT'.

 Five O Fives dropped their new song, If You Won't Say It' a couple of weeks ago. It's the third single for the band (after the release of ' Something To Do ' back in January) and this time the sound is darker. The track talks about being the  one taking the first step in a relationship :That moment where there's a mutual attraction and interest,but nobody says so, creating insecurity on your perception of the partner's feelings:'If you won't say it, how will I  know?'. This uncertainty burst in some existentialism : 'If you won't say it, where will I go?'.  The track begins with an indie-rock bass, which helps to set the scene,  to then melt with folky percussion at the start of the chorus, highlighting Alice's voice.

LISTEN TO Five O Fives' NEW SINGLE, 'SOMETHING TO DO'.

    The West Midlands band  released their first single last month and now they drop 'Something To Do' , their first track of the year. 'Something To Do' is a song about some party nights ,where you might drink too much and 'maybe regretting it a bit the next day'. The lyrics are sad but truly illustrative ' Feels like I've lost Another round ' /' The drinks aren't working anymore ' /' Each night here's left me black and blue ' .  However, the melody feels happy, joyful, and currently uplifting, leaving aside the concern and, even, the existentialism  of the lyrics.   It brings out youth's inocence of  unintended mistakes while swimming in doubt. The song will give you 90s or early 2000s nostalgia and will make you look back on those nights at bars or pubs , which seem so far these days . This is a great second move from the band, able to match strong feelings of sadness with delicious, pleasant and delightful melodies.
