Pulse Review: “Overlooking Paris” by Cronin | What Pop meant to be
Music Review:
“Η ωραία αισθαντική διάθεση των φωνητικών σε παρασύρει σε μια γοητευτική και ερωτική ατμόσφαιρα. Η υπέροχη μελωδία γεμάτη μυστήριο και πάθος κεντρίζει το ενδιαφέρον σου και σε αποπλανεί γλυκά χωρίς να το καταλάβεις. Ο ρυθμός ανήσυχα τρυπώνει μέσα σου και ξεσηκώνει τα συναισθήματα σου με την ήρεμη δύναμη του.”

Press Release – About Song:
Cronin – “Overlooking Paris” Irish band Cronin return with their sweeping new single, Overlooking Paris, out now via Live Transmission Records. Inspired by James Bond themes, the song blends the cinematic elegance of John Barry and Serge Gainsbourg with the stripped-back romance of Tom Waits and Shane MacGowan. Produced by David Odlum (The Frames, Sam Smith), with Steve Wickham (The Waterboys) on strings, the track was recorded at the band’s own Transmission Rooms Studio. About Cronin Led by brothers Michael and Johnny Cronin, this Longford duo have carved out a distinctive sound—“a mix of Nick Cave, Echo & The Bunnymen, and classic British guitar bands” (Hot Press). Formerly known as The Aftermath, they scored multiple Irish chart hits before evolving into Cronin. With a critically acclaimed album (The First Kiss of Love), standout collaborations, and performances at Electric Picnic, Vestrock, and Shane MacGowan’s wedding & funeral, the band continues to make waves.
