Paul Diello – You Lose

Paul Diello is a Brighton native. Over the past few years he has been making himself known in the music world. Many say you have to make your voice heard to be recognised, though Paul has almost done the opposite. With a rather soft vocal capability that is never overpowering, Paul manages to bring himself out into a world where many male vocalists aim for big and loud. In 2011, the album ‘The Last Green Bottle’ brought a sound which was comparable to the 1970’s Elton John. Now, Paul is back to release his new single ‘You Lose’.

Paul comes in with a simple piano which introduces his vocals. “Sticks and stones can’t break my bones” may not be the most original of lyrics but they indeed stick out rather nicely. The track is easy to fall into, no other instrument comes in to disrupt this rare treat. Not many male vocalists sit by a piano or keyboard nowadays and sing their hearts out. Each keys is a level of emotion that is bursting through the words that Paul Diello sings with such ease. The lyrics are clear, you never struggle to understand. Why isn’t music like this more often? We may never know. Well done Paul!
