If you’re reading this blog (and unless this is being dictated to you, which would be amazing, you probably are) then you’re probably a connoisseur of the finer things in life. And when I say finer things, I mean music so good it makes you feel a bit nice inside.

With that in mind, you may well already be aware of the popular beat combo known as Hurts. They had a song that sounded a bit like Hazard by Richard Marx (the very wonderful Wonderful Life), which is a clear mark of quality as far as I’m concerned.

But were you also aware they’ve put up their new single and all round jolly good tune Happiness for free download? Well they have, and I’m very proud to be able to post a link to it and generally talk nonsense while I do so.

Billed as a live favourite, Happiness has quite the beat going for it, plus some epic vocals and a xylophone line that will leave you thinking “actually xylophones are a bit good”. Also there’s a very good key change in there. The art of the key change is alive and well and living in this song.

It’s being offered up as a free download on Amazon so it’s a bit of a faff to download, but I assure you it is ENTIRELY WORTH THE EFFORT.
