"Our youth is over, the bullet fills the hole, the pain has left me feeling love"
Is this an elaborate metaphor for losing your virginity, or do I just have a dirty mind?
Either way, London-based Yadi has delivered another superb pop track after last year's EP 'Guillotine'. The soaring guitars, the yearning vocal, the urgent drumming and unrelenting bassline - it all encapsulates the dizzying rush of young love. "Your love is like a gunshot in a bloody show", may seem a little violent (it's unlikely this would go down too well in the US), but this is an impassioned pop track from a talented performer who is definitely one to watch for 2013.
There's also a decent remix from Joe Goddard, if you're after a more dancey vibe.
4/5
