MIKE BRAMBLE, “Never Tear Us Apart”, “Is It You”, “Her Lies”
Covering an INXS is always likely to attract my attention, so when I received word about Mike Bramble’s rendition, I had to check out his other songs as well. Mike is from Portugal, was schooled in music/guitar, and performs a creditable version of “Never Tear Us Apart”. It’s an ambitious, more acoustic, almost folky take on the powerful and anthemic rock ballad. Not what I’d quite expect but props to Mike for boldly tackling it in such a different arrangement. That song doesn’t prepare you though for the soulful power in Mike’s voice in the Seal-like jazzy/R&B flavour of “Is It You”, and the story-telling heartache of “Her Lies”, which features absolutely gorgeous guitar work. Even with these three songs to listen to, I think there is much more that we haven’t yet heard from Mike Bramble. Definitely a new talent to watch. Get your fix of all three below.
