Tin Tin - Is That The Way
Review by Michael Hale
Tin Tin's debut album, Is That The Way, is a delightful collection of upbeat pop-rock tunes that perfectly capture the spirit of the era in which it was released. The album features catchy melodies, infectious hooks, and groovy rhythms that will keep listeners tapping their feet and humming along.
One standout track on the album is the opening song, "Toast and Marmalade for Tea," a whimsical tune with a memorable chorus and a playful arrangement. Another highlight is "Only Ladies Play Croquet," a bouncy number that showcases the band's tight harmonies and energetic instrumentation.
The album's title track, "Is That The Way," is a soulful ballad that demonstrates the band's versatility and showcases lead singer Steve Groves' emotive vocals. Other standout tracks include the groovy "He Wants to Be a Star," the bluesy "Swans on the Canal," and the upbeat "She Said Ride."
