The PLAIN WHITE T'S have always been sentimental, but now they're just plain soppy. 'Rhythm Of Love' is the first single from the band's forthcoming album 'The Wonders Of The Younger' and plays back like a Hallmark greeting card commercial.
Where 'Hey There Delilah' - before it was murdered by re-relases - was endearing and heartfelt, lead guitarist Tim Lopez now takes charge of vocals duty (with frontman Tom Higgenson on harmonies) and reels line after line of endless cheese on 'Rhythm Of Love' - e.g. "We may only have tonight / But till the morning sun you're mine all mine / Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love."
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Higgenson said that: “The name of the album is ‘The Wonders of the Younger. We were in Vegas last year around Valentine’s Day and saw the Cirque du Soleil show ‘O.’ The show had clowns, pirates and a bunch of crazy stuff and I walked out thinking ‘I’ve got a great idea for our next album.’ From that point on, my mind went wild.”
'The Wonders Of The Younger' album is expected to be released in either September or October in the States. Higgenson also told the Chicago Tribune that: “We’re trying to take a completely different approach this time around. It’s a little more of a concept album.”
