Gary Go - Open ArmsGary Go – Open Arms

The late 2000’s seems to be the era of the solo singer song writer, as there are so many solo artists at the moment taking the charts and general live circuit by storm, you have Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Kate Perry, James Blunt, James Morrison and now Gary Go, a man who supported The Feeling on their massive tour just before Christmas last year and now he has been announced as the main opening act for Take That during their massive Arena tour in June, not bad for a young lad who hasn’t been in the music industry for long and looks like a cross between Buddy Holly meets Elvis Costello.

‘Open Arms’ is the new single from Gary Go and its due for release on the 11th May on Decca Records , the song really showcases Gary’s skills as a singer song writer musician, the guitar playing is exactly what you would expect from a male solo artist, whilst the vocals area really uplifting and strong sounding with Gary singing his heart out during the pop-tastic chorus.

The best way to understand what Gary Go sounds like without actually giving him a listen would be to imagine if Chris Martin from Coldplay went solo and was armed with just his guitar and voice especially as Gary Go’s vocals are very much like Chris Martin’s but just that little bit more uplifting.

4/5
