Single/Download Review

Shirley Lee
Dissolving Time / Spiralina Girl Missing Page (Download)

Article written by Paul M - May 23, 2009

Shirley Lee recently released an album away from his usual Spearmint moniker because he felt the tracks were too personal to him. Well this download single features a couple of the highlights and they make a convincing case for its purchase. Dissolving Time fizzes along on shimmering keyboard waves but it's the second track Spiralina Girl that commands the repeat plays; a terrific brewing love song with clever lyrics that bursts into a catchy chorus and then like a stolen first kiss just before the last bus turns up, puckers off.. which is a shame because the cringeworthy, expletive riddled final track Restless Soul is neither big nor clever and ruins the feelgood factor somewhat.
