One Day I’m Going to Soar

Dexys Midnight Runners

A theatrical, soul-drenched monologue of self-doubt and romantic failure. Intimate chamber arrangements meet raw, conversational vocals in a stunning return to form.

June 4, 2012 · BMG

A brutally honest and theatrical exploration of romantic neurosis set against elegant, warm soul arrangements.

Moments Worth Listening For

The conversational sparring between Kevin Rowland and Madeleine Hyland on 'I’m Always Going to Love You' which feels like eavesdropping on a private argument.

The slow, agonizing build of 'It’s O.K. John Joe' where the instrumentation strips away to leave a raw, spoken-word confession.

The sudden, joyous burst of brass and rhythm in 'She Got a Wiggle' that provides a rare moment of pure physical groove.
