Shooting Star

Deepest Blue

Open

WE SAY

You're hearing it here first: the new single mix of Shooting Star, the fourth release from Deepest Blue's soon-to-be-smash debut album. We heard some new Blue Nile material this week (signed to Sanctuary), and realised there's a little of the Blue Nile in Deepest Blue - Shooting Star's massive string riff for example. Also here is further proof that these guys know how to write a hit chorus. Impressive stuff.
