Ed Harcourt - All Your Days Are Blessed
Dear Ed,
I like your new single.
But something is not quite right.
'All your days…' is a good song, full of your mandatory chipper, rolling, quirkiness. It's cute. But I've heard it before. Nothing here is very different from the songs on your last one ('Here Be Monsters'). There's»
