Sticking to The Script
The Script’s debut album feels like it was written for continuous radio play; it doesn’t break any new musical ground but it expertly plays off of successful Pop-Rock molds and creates some appealing hits. Most of the Irish pop band’s songs deal with heartache and breakup, but without being overwhelming or depressing. Their catchy lyrics and rock progressions showcase The Script’s tightness as a band as well as the their solidity as one of the foremost touring acts. Lead singer’s Danny O’Donoghue voice echoes other popular rock singers of today with a smoothness similar to Robin Thicke and more power than The Fray’s Isaac Slade.
On The Script, the band incorporates several different genres into their Pop-Rock style. Songs like “We Cry” and “Rusty Halo” dabble into the R&B/ Soul arena with synthesized beats and faster vocals. “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Anybody There” are well-orchestrated slower love ballads with sweeping atmospheric crescendos supported by forceful piano and steady guitar chords.
The Script has opened several times for fellow Irish natives U2 and will open for Paul McCartney’s August 15 show in Piedmont Park. Opening for these rock icons is a competitive spot that many artists would clamor for, and being on the same bill as McCartney and Bono show the amount of confidence and potential many in the music world thinks this band has. Be sure to see them live this weekend when they warmup the crowd for Sir Paul; get tickets!
Add this song to your mixtape: “Breakeven” a bouncy yet honest track about how emotions in breakups are never evenly split.
