​Pablo Nouvelle

Single Review: One More Chance - Pablo Nouvelle

October 29, 2012 in stream, single review, review

I've been wanting to cover Pablo Nouvelle for a few months but only just had the opportunity​ - frankly this new release was just too good to sleep on..

​Pablo Nouvelle is Fabio Friedli and this new single continues his musical experimentation with soul, pop, trip hop and house. 'One More Chance' has a real melancholy running though it, the vocals pleading with a soon-to-depart lover for that opportunity the track is named after.

The track starts with a soulful organ section, muted keys playing out a tearful melody whilst the vocals lay the emotional groundwork. The heavy bass and the riffing chords that kick in halfway through are what gives the track it's gravity though - it's pretty irresistible. Finally the track ends on a quiet, contemplative section - the musical equivalent of those closing shots in The Graduate. Does this suggests our protagonist didn't get that one more chance? Or perhaps he did, but things ended badly anyway?

​B-side 'Winter In Helsinki' applies slow, heavy beats to a carefully picked out layered piano jazz melody. It feels a little like Aim (remember them?) - a wintery instrumental that counters the high-emotion of the a-side.

One More Chance is self-released by Pablo Nouvelle on 5 November, keep an eye on his site for more. You can stream 'Winter In Helsinki' below​:
