Oh, Robbie Williams, you never disappoint us… Whether you’re delivering hard rock hooks or fine pop ballads, or even the occasional hip-hop number, you never fail to come up with clever lyrics and it’s extremely rare that you release a song without a memorable chorus. In our opinion, you’re like the Elvis of our generation.…

Texas has always had a knack for concocting songs with killer hooks and razor sharp lyrics and they continue to excel in both departments on their new single, “Start A Family.” “No one knows you better than me,” sings Sharleen Spiteri, almost like she’s making a threat, her voice soulful and arresting.

Like “Bed On Fire” and “21+,” two of the previous cuts to be unleashed from Butch Walker’s upcoming album Afraid of Ghosts, “Father’s Day” starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds. It’s almost like having a conversation with someone that starts off as casual chit chat but then there’s that spark, that chemistry that…
