Balthazar have picked Changes to be the next single from their recent album Fever.
‘I was hungover and complaining about it’, Maarten Devoldere says of the track which has a video capturing the band on tour as they add more live dates in France and Germany for the end of this year to the European touring that’s already in the pipeline.
“The titular opening track leads in gently over eight bars of rolling bass before Devoldere growls over a newer, funk channeling Balthazar that, in its boldness, makes to leave the constraints of indie-dom behind,” Live4ever’s Fever review reads.
“This is, of course, is the kind of swagger that comes from being validated outside of your day job, one that elevates the Belgian quintet to a similar sort of plateau as Foster The People, or even stretching the premise a little just for fun, early Phoenix.”
“For the first time we’re probably talking about bona fide potential hits here, a rich seam of bangers ranging from the brassy soul of Entertainment through the swish cocktail rock of Changes to the suave sax-laden MOR closer You’re So Real.”
