GEORGE SHELLEY Releases Debut Solo Single 'Technicolour'

If you were a 90’s raver, then some of the synths heard in George Shelley’s brand new single “Technicolour” will throw you right back to the distinctive House music of Dance acts like Livin’ Joy, specifically their 1996 summer hit “Don’t Stop Movin’.” The ole skool clubbers will instantly recognise the synth used for Technicolour’s bass section, from Alex Party’s catchy 1995 banger “Don’t Give Me Your Life,” and you Goa Trance heads will notice the use of Martin Freeland AKA Man With No Name’s notable keyboard sound from the “Earth Moving The Sun” interlude “Camouflage” playing the melody of Shelley’s new single in the first verse on top of that deep bass line, and this whole package in its intro alone has got ROUGH ONLINE dancing around in TGIF mode. The ex-Union J band member seriously knew what he was doing when he recorded this song …because he made it specifically for the clubs, especially with that R&B Electro beat in Verse 1, leading us into the breakdown of the bridge section where everything drops out, barring Shelley’s voice and a feast full of fuzzy, space-like keyboards reminiscent of Olive’s 1996 Breakbeat track “You’re Not Alone.”

George Shelley is not shying away from delivering the most energetic vocal possible during the bridge, necessary to lead us into the chorus, with a powerful tone in the vein of John Martin’s performance on Swedish House Mafia’s 2012 smash-hit “Don’t You Worry Child.” And let’s not forget the important part…the chorus’s Dance beat and the use of a slight pizzicato underneath the bass, reminiscent of 1998’s “Don’t Stop” by Ruff Driverz and an unexpected saxophone-sounding synth playing the bass melody a few octaves up, while Shelley sings in a less nazely tone to Adam Levine, but with similar phrasing. The instrumental section after the second chorus includes an adlib vocal part which is effected by distortion, that for a moment unpredictably Rocks-up the song a touch just before its’ final chorus, making it an overall interesting piece of Pop music.

You could easily label George Shelley’s “Technicolour” as a 21st century spin on 90’s  Dance music production, and ROUGH ONLINE highly rate his new single as one of 2018’s best summer tunes. Trust us when we say that after the first listen its’ catchy Bass melody will stay in your mind’s eye, tormenting you into listening to it again on repeat for the next month while you’re clubbing during the UK heatwave. “Technicolour” is available now from all online stores.
