Posted April 10, 200619 yr Just heard this for the first time now and it's wondréful :D I thought they'd struggle to top the last album but this really is a superb song and should get them a top 10 hit. Anyone else heard or like it? Keane - Is it any Wonder? http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/KEANEWONDER.JPG May 2006 Having circumnavigated the planet with the emotive strains of 'Hopes And Fears', delivering their debut album to the world and genuinely winning the hearts of everyone who saw them, Keane are now back with their brand new single 'Is It Any Wonder?'. Embracing their guitar-free ethos more wholeheartedly, 'Is It Any Wonder?' is the sound of Keane positively reverberating around the studio, with space aged synths arching their way through Tim's emotive deliverance of a bitter and frustrated relationship. 'Is It Any Wonder?' is a fitting appetiser for their forthcoming album, 'Under The Iron Sea'. - HMV track listing 1. Is It Any Wonder? 2. Let It Slide 3.

April 10, 200619 yr I haven't heard it. I heard they were going for a more rock sound, is this evident on this song?
April 10, 200619 yr Author I haven't heard it. I heard they were going for a more rock sound, is this evident on this song? Oh no. Not at all. In fact I thought it was even more pop-sounding than their previous attempts.

It wasn't what I was expecting and it has more to it than just about anything from the last album, catchy too. 'Bedshaped' still remains my favourite though. :P
April 13, 200619 yr I haven't heard it. I heard they were going for a more rock sound, is this evident on this song? The opening few bars sound 'rock-ier', but then after that and overall it feels pop-ier really. I'm not really reminded of Duran, Duran or A-ha though. Apart from the electric guitar sounds, it's not dissimilar from their earlier stuff for me. It's a bit repetitive and there's nothing about this track that makes me stop in my tracks, like Somewhere only we know did - it's definitely not a BedShaped either, but it's quite catchy and will either catch me or drive me nuts after a while - not sure which yet ;) - sure it will probably do well though :) Thanks Cassidy :)
April 14, 200619 yr OMG! I just heard this song and I think it's amazing already!!! In my opinion their sound really changed... the beats are more pop but they DO have more guitars. And my Gosh, the singer's voice really changed, it's like he's taking another path with his voice... good for them, a great changed and I'm really excited about their new album which I'll buy the instant it comes out! Well done Keane!!!! And btw, many thanks to Cassidy who provided the song!! Edited April 14, 200619 yr by Luciano
