The best singles are those which leave you emotionally and maybe physically (behave) aroused by their conclusion, songs which take the listener on emotional and musical rides with lingering effects. They vary from ear to ear, heart to heart of course but a few manage to tap into a potency and energy which captivates the broadest landscape of eager appreciation. One such proposition is One Last Time, the new single from UK rockers The Jade Assembly. The song is a rousing incitement of passion and energy which from a strong and inviting start simply soars with anthemic and dramatic majesty. It leaves bodies breathless and emotions fired up ready to take on anything, whilst thoughts just want to know and hear more.
The Bolton hailing quartet of vocalist/guitarist John Foster, lead guitarist Gareth Smedley, drummer Andy Watson, and bassist Danny Hayes, has taken the Manchester scene by the scruff of its neck in recent times with their blend of alternative, indie, and melodic rock. They have frequently lured acclaim and support with their fiery impassioned songs, Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets describing The Jade Assembly as the ”Best Guitar band since Kasabian”. With a song like One Last Time pounding away in ears it is hard to make any counter argument, instead a nod of the head and repeat play of the single the response.
The voice of Foster cupped by a melodic caress of guitar opens up One Last Time, his expressive delivery instantly impressive. A bass tone almost rumbles with resonance next as the song entices with increasing strength, spicy hooks soon emerging alongside firmly jabbing beats and the infectious exploits of Forster’s vocals. The cap on the bottle of the song is soon off, riffs and rhythms suddenly strolling rigorously through ears led by equally fiery vocals and badgering rhythms. Another relaxing emotive breath is taken before things once again erupt into a stirring contagion fuelled canter, the full anthemic force of band and song a raging/seductive persuasion. Riffs and even more tempting hooks explode on the senses whilst the passion of the band drives the heart of the creative and emotional roar of the track.
Obviously one song does not mark a band but a look at other songs soon reveals the creative weight and inventive prowess of the band with One Last Time, The Jade Assembly’s finest moment yet.
