We say
Martha's last two singles (which we loved) have been impassioned, if not confrontational. When The Day Is Short is positively accessible, if not easy on the ear. It's a love song of resignation and regret a la We've Got Tonite, and surely a strong contender for the Radio 2 playlist. She performs her swearing version on Later⦠tonight alongside Kaiser Chiefs, exactly a year after DiS Recordings released their debut single Oh My God.Contact
