HURTS (Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson) will release their official first single “Better Than Love” on May 17, 2010. The new song took my by surprise because it is a much more upbeat track when compared to “Wonderful Life” and “Blood, Tears and Gold“.
HURTS recently told the BBC: “We write pop music. To aim lower than going stratospheric is quite cowardly.” I couldn’t agree more. I am predicting big things for HURTS this year. All the ingredients are there; great lyrics, stunning production, catchy choruses and a touch of mystery. Their debut album is set for release on August 16, 2010.
