Johnny Borrell - Pan European Supermodel Song (Oh! Gina)

Video released June 23rd 2013


Remember when Razorlight were massive, everywhere you went you'd hear 'America' or 'In The Morning'? What happened is the real question. Slipway Fires was released in 2008, that's madness. Borrell returns but he's lost the band, he's going it alone, he's toned down the arrogance and dealt with his god complex to a point and is back making music, and it's a lot different. I'm not entirely sure what happened during his 5 years off but he seems to have been on an adventure, he's a changed man and has a changed sound. The video, involving Borrell and a group of others pushing a piano through the streets while one of the group plays as they walk, it's a small production and works great with this new incarnation. Regardless of sales of his debut album I'm glad he's back, Razorlight had a massive effect on my music taste while growing up and it's good to seem someone I've got so much love for giving it another go.
