Muse and Ellie Goulding have previewed new material recently. Muse, always one note away from extravagance, seem to have steeped over that note and turned it into a symphony. Goulding has embraced electronica more than even in her re-release of her debut album, Bright Lights.
Goulding's new single, "Anything Could Happen" starts with a brace of high vocal noises on loop before launching into a march-type rejoicing that life is always surprising, no doubt influenced by her personal life which she has admitted freely in several interviews is a very definite factor in her new album, due for release in October. Watch this blog for a review of it later in the year.
Muse's new song, "Madness", ironically starts similarly to Goulding's with avocal track on loop. Their last song too hit the public ears,the Olympics-infused "Survival" was brilliant in its epicness and almost absurdly good, suiting the occasion very well indeed. In "Madness", Muse become the band that's the hybrid child of Queen and Radiohead, something they've threatened to do for a while. It is loud, mad in places, with a real sense that the band are going in an entirely new direction.
