SINGLE REVIEW
Hill
Today is going to be a good
day’ will be a fan favourite for
popular duo Nikki and Paul
Henshaw of Blacksmith Hill, it’s nice
harmonies work perfectly to bring a
well crafted song it’s due . Forgoing
the usual party time and catchy riff
choruses of ‘The Scientic
Simpletons‘. Paul and Nikki strip it
down to the bare bones of music
performance, allowing their voices to
shine through and make this truly
special. That’s why this track will
become highly rated – it possesses a
true talent and conveys that in an
honest, emotional, and strikingly
simple way.
‘It’s incredible to me how
someone as glaringly
talented as Paul Henshaw
doesn’t have the same mass
appeal as the auto-tuned
people of this world’
A heartfelt ballad with simply picked
acoustic guitar and reserved drums,
the arrangement is specically
designed to gently support the
content of the song without ever
overpowering it. We are allowed,
therefore, to feel the sheer weight of
the lyrics.
It’s incredible to me how someone as
glaringly talented, as Paul Henshaw,
doesn’t have the same mass appeal as
the auto-tuned people of this world. I
am glad that he seems to be
attracting the ears of more and more
people in the mainstream sphere, as
this track was picked up by
Shrewsbury business ‘Greenhous‘ for
their christmas advertising campaign.
All money raised from this song went
to ‘The Shrewsbury Ark‘ in the true
christmas spirit of things.
So all Paul needs now is a stage, a
guitar, and his wife Nikki on
harmonies, and all those present will
listen.
