Long-awaited new single 'NW5’.

Everyone’s favourite pop/ska stalwarts Madness present a welcome return
to the music scene with their long-awaited new single 'NW5’. Although
breaking away slightly from their ska sound and foraying into a more
regimented pop sound, the wait seems definitely worth it. Suggs injects
his trademark vocals which blend nicely with the theatrical piano and
string accompaniment peppered with a steady infusion of drum beats.







Although not instantaniously catchy, this one’s a grower and
thankfully is not the sound of old men trying to be hip, Madness stay
true to form and still know how to whack out a hit.
