It’s big and bold and tough and rough – everything that a “Superhero” could be. The first iTunes release (with a frenetic remix that’s perfect for club music fans) from LA’s Simon Curtis from his upcoming album R∆ has not only all the makings of a pop hit, but I think someone needs to contact the Zack Snyder crew that’s putting together the next installment of Superman movies (currently called “Man of Steel”) because “Superhero” would fit into its soundtrack perfectly!
At first listen, I thought immediately of a song from This Delicate Thing We’ve Made by Darren Hayes called “The Future Holds A Lion’s Heart”. “Superhero” resonates with the power, aggression, and grace of that song. Upon subsequent listens, the emotion and painstakingly raw appeal of Simon’s voice in this song sink in huge. It sounds cathartic in some ways. Simon’s newer songs come from a darker personal place than in 8bit Heart. Combine that with his penchant for sci-fi/fantasy and glorious detail, as well as terrific production by producer/collaborator Jeff “Jadion” Wells and these four words say it all: Not To Be Missed.
