Rock and Pop: Record of the Week - Better than Love - Hurts

AFTER falling for Hurts’ atmospheric early tracks Wonderful Life and Blood, Tears and Gold, this switch to such an uptempo dance track for their official debut single was surprising. The hooky question “does it feel better than love?” forms a strong chorus but at times there’s too much going on. I suspect this doesn’t quite hold the same attraction that drew initial murmurings of great things for this synth duo.
