You Lose single review in SQ

Paul Diello – You Lose (Piano radio edit)

Based: Brighton

This stripped-back piano edit of Paul Diello’s own ‘You Lose’ is poignant and has vulnerability about it. The slowed down tempo gives you time to soak in the atmosphere while the lack of instrumentation means there are gaps for you ponder, perhaps philosophically, before reaching a mini-climax that highlights the emotion in his voice. Despite the wonderfully controlled vocals, you’re actually left wondering where Paul Diello fits in with the abundance of other singer-songwriters out there. In the end, you conclude that Paul Diello is one of Brighton’s best kept secrets but doubt a national shockwave will be made.
