My Review: Vincent Christ - The Gift Of Tears

Vincent Christ - The Gift Of Tears

A delight in the absence of oxygen: Vincent takes our breath away, scrambling us with his guitar that reminds us so much of Robert Smith in his best days, with his focus on associating the Post-Punk movement with a singing mode that brings a smile to our face, to drag it all into the conviction that the lyrics are the key to understanding the meaning of this single that swirls around a room, bouncing, unstoppable, again and again. One hundred and fifty-six seconds: it may not seem like much for a song, but here we are in front of a work of art that will stand the test of time, if only we are able to notice some novelty, the ability to shake up the tired attitude of clichés that kill musical genres. Let us celebrate the freshness of a decadent expression that will eventually leave on our face the smile of someone who loves pain and prefers it to fake joy...
