  Seven Songs for the Week #83 - 6th Nov 24

  Jason Carty

  I have not keeping up with the records The Darkness have put out since their reactivation in 2011. Their flame burned bright when their first appeared on the scene, but drugs, ego, drugs, management, drugs and a mess of a second album ended things. Since 2011 they have been putting in the work: six more albums, gigging, and leaning into the things that made people like them in the first place, namely fun & tunes. So I thought I'd see what the first single from album eight sounds like. It's a sprightly McCartney/Sparks/Queen confection that just has to be loved. The ending is particularly silly. There's nothing wrong with humour in music.
