TRACK REVIEW: Olympia Palace – Cruel Paradise

A very strong lead in, Strat-heavy opening for Olympia Palace’s newest track Cruel Paradise moulds an instantly likeable track.

The quick pace of the single makes Cruel Paradise quite lively and almost bouncy. The vibrant vocal performance eases us into a fun atmosphere that the track builds up pretty much straight away, and has an airy presence over the instrumental that gives the song that summer vibe it seems to be aiming for.

I imagine it would sound excellent live, having seem to be built for such a purpose. Thanks to its anthemic and epic vibe, the liveliness of the chorus, and the erupting guitar solo, I’d want to be in the crowd taking it all in.
