MILES KANE – Pop And Soul Nostalgia For Lazy Days With His Fourth Album ‘CHANGE THE SHOW’
23 January 2022
Artist: MILES KANE
Who: British pop/rock songsmith (35 years old)
Active: Since 2005 / 4 studio LPs (including new one)
New album: CHANGE THE SHOW
Out: 21st January 2022
MILES KANE: “I wrote songs about big highs, big lows, daydreams,
true friends and deep feelings. I learnt to let the future unfold of its
own accord, while staying true to myself and that has led to what
feels to me like a really uplifting album!”
NME‘s verdict: “When Kane rises above that tentativeness, as with
the rousing and charismatic title track, the effect is engaging. But for
the most part, this solid but unchallenging album is a step towards
nowhere in particular.” Full review here. Score: 3/5.
Turn Up The Volume: Back to the pop and soul of 60s/70s. Motown,
early Bowie, a bit of bubblegum, organs and horns, glowing guitars and
playful piano, harmonious backing vocals, a whole lot of nostalgia and
addictive tunes. Kane doesn’t change the show, but he made a lively
retro record for lazy days.

Already the third cut he shares from his upcoming longplayer
Kane: “I love the back and forth between us. I wanted an Ike and
Tina vibe, not a gratuitous guest. Unfortunately, we had to record
it remotely, but we’ll perform it on stage together I’m sure.”
Back in the day, this would have been a Tamla Motown hit.

Second taster
MILES KANE: “Caroline’ is a song about reaching out to someone to tell
them they are special and loved. It’s so important for us to communicate
with each other at the good and the bad times, even when it’s hard to do so.”
Sounds like a Tamla Motown song to my ears.
C’mon sweet Caroline…

MILES KANE Covers DONNA SUMMER’s HOT STUFF – Belgium/Scotland 2018…
Ecstatic live performances…
Alex Turner‘s buddy MILES KANE released his new, third, solo album COUP DE GRACE
on 10 August. All summer long he played festivals to promote it. Yesterday he landed in Belgium at Crammerock Festival. Although he looked like a horny modern day Tarzan, the white dressed Kane played a rhapsodic kick-ass set. A thunderous rock and roll show from start to finish. So many artists love to pick a classic song from other famous artists
to cover at festivals in order to get ALL of the spectators going completely nuts. So did citizen Kane. His choice was somehow surprising, yet totally completely bang-on. DONNA SUMMER‘s timeless disco knockout Hot Stuff made thousands scream at the top of their lungs. Here’s that glorious momentum when performed at TRNSMT Festival in Scotland
on 1 July 2018…
