The debut song from Craig Walker & The Cold is an absolute gem.
For Irish music aficionados out there, the name Craig Walker should be a familiar one. He has been releasing music since his debut album with a band known as Power of Dreams way back in 1990.
Power of Dreams had great success in Ireland, the UK and Japan, releasing four albums over a hectic six-year period.
Since then, Craig has collaborated with a number of acts including Mineral, Booka Shade, dance outfit WUSA as well as Them There.
The Cold is Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist Erik Alcock. Erik has written, performed, or produced with acts including Eminem, Celine Dion, Kanye West, Pink and many more.
Recorded in Berlin, this is their first collaboration and it's a pop song so melodic and catchy, it may very well live in your head for days.
This is a song that examines the theory that the road to fame is littered with murder and that only glitter shines when you look back.
It's a brilliant track and thankfully not a one-off as there are live dates planned for the future too.
