Helen Boulding - Copenhagen

This single takes its sound from the likes of KT Tunstall and Sheryl Crow, before setting off with a guitar solo reminiscent of that Robin Hood Prince of Thieves song by that Canadian acne rocker Bryan Adams. You’ll find songs like this in One Tree Hill, or on those Laguna Beach type shows that star spoilt American rich kids talking about their relationship problems. It’s got that unmistakable foul stench of cheese about it. It’d be perfectly suited to the soundtrack of a montage of some stupid skinny American kids falling in and out of love, or as the hit single to accompany an insipid chick flick about some incredibly pretty country girl discovering herself in a big city. This is music that completely alienates me and leaves me desperately craving something that actually inspires me, rather than more and more of this arid filth.
