TRACK REVIEW: Simon Taylor – The Theatre of Broken Souls

North East-based singer-songwriter Simon Taylor hints at a more uplifting and energetic sound with the release of his new single.

The track is a shimmering summer anthem with soft vocals and a guitar-driven soundscape that is catchy, and a chorus that is easy to sing along to. The new funk rock track shows a different side to the musician’s abilities, which thus far have taken a more pop/Latin-focused approach, and as such uplifts his entire catalogue.

The Theatre of Broken Souls is the first track from his upcoming EP Northern Star, which offers a tongue-in-cheek narrative on working in a music venue. If the EP sounds anything like the single’s happy-go-lucky soundscape, I can’t wait to hear it!
