I wonder who it is that has wronged James Poole? He’s certainly got a lot to say in the matter which he has conveyed into song! From the spark of attraction to relationships turning sour, there’s a song opportunity in every twist and turn of everyday life if you’re a singer/songwriter like James Poole.
The debut single “I’ve Started Fuckin Someone Else” not unsurprisingly has a slight hissy undercurrent but is totally usurped by James’s bold lyrics which tend to paint the whole picture and not leave us in any doubt about the unfortunate hot mess which became a turbulent relationship. I’m not going to elaborate too much about what get’s said, but ooo wee, I gotta say…this is some pay back!
A fiery track such as this, full of fuck yous and “you know what I’m just dandy and doing fine without you” attitude is best served with an electro-rock engineered, driven verse changing tack to an upbeat bridge of piano house breaks. Ensuring that when all rounded off, it sounds exactly like the ultimate kiss-off song should.
There’s a whole lot of desserts served cold with this track, we’re talking temperatures rattling around the well below zero mark. It made me sit up and listen though and if I’d had a vinyl copy of this about 25 years ago I know who I would have liked to have gifted it too as well. Safe to say this track strikes a chord of relate-ability to anyone who has been cheated on. If that’s you, play “I’ve Started Fuckin Someone Else” loud and keep hitting repeat – each time you do so whack the volume up a couple of more notches too.
