Paul Collins’ Out of My Head

Paul Collins’ Out of My Head

Paul Collins never ceases to amaze me. No matter how old he gets, he never gets old. His latest LP, Out of My Head, is nothing less than a testament to one man’s undying love for rock ‘n’ roll.

He has the same unbridled enthusiasm for playing melodic power pop that he had when he started almost 40 years ago. Most importantly, he hasn’t lost his touch for writing a killer hook.

You’ll find yourself singing aloud to “Kind of Girl”. Thanks in part to it’s hand claps and harmonies, “Just Too Bad You’re Leaving” is a candidate for first single on an album that’s chock full of ‘em.

Things slow down with “Emily”, an Everly Brothers style tune that is no less satisfying than its more up tempo counterparts. And “You Belong to Me” is power pop the way God intended it. No frills, all hook and no filler.

His first album since 2014’s Feel The Noise, Paul Collins’ Out of My Head will be available on Limited Edition Vinyl, CD, digital and streaming formats September 28th via Alive Naturalsound Records
