You will not find them more British than Embrace in 2006. Embrace's music can roughly be described as a mix of Oasis and Coldplay, in which they took over the sing-along choruses from the first and the sincere lyrics and sensitive gasp in the voice from the second. . Out Of Nothing (2004) was a great success. Chris Martin's single Gravity reached # 1 in the UK charts. When you listen to This New
… Day you involuntarily see the fans of Embrace in front of you: a pint in one hand, the other arm around their 'best mate'. Music for 'working class lads', with simple lyrics that also come across in the noise of a noisy pub. 'You should never fight your feelings, you have to follow nature's law', singer Danny McNamara preaches in Nature's Law. For the usually so reserved English people, that is pretty much the definition of rock 'n roll. (MS)more
