Album opener Both Ways is unlike what you might expect from The Script, a sonic sleight of hand bringing to mind Bruno Mars feasting on Black Eyed Peas
It’s never easy for a band to continue after the death of a founding member, especially if, as in the case of, you have been solid friends from the age of 12. After the death of Mark Sheehan in April 2023, there was, according to the Dublin band’s lead singer, “a big call for us not to do anything”. That wasn’t going to happen. “We built this together, and for me to now tear it down because Mark’s not here? That’s an insult to his memory. Better to carry on the thing we’ve built together.
The album begins with Both Ways, a track written with Steve Robson and Wayne Hector, two UK songwriters with vast experience working with multimillion-selling acts. The result of such blending is quite unlike what you might expect from The Script, a sonic sleight of hand that brings to mind Bruno Mars feasting on Black Eyed Peas.
Home Is Where the Hurt Is, Inside Out, One Thing I Got Right, and Gone bring us to more familiar territory, with signature arena-friendly pop-rock styles, but the beating heart of the album resides in the ballads At Your Feet, the title track, Before You Go, and Promises.Bread, cereals and yoghurts: 11 foods you might not realise are ultra-processed
