Latest single from CHAMPS is so heavenly it’ll make your heart melt

The fourth single from the long-awaited third album by Isle of Wight brothers Michael and David Champion – aka CHAMPS – goes on sale from tomorrow (Friday).

Written by David Champion, Red Star is a song about waiting for the return of an absent loved-one.

Throw in a bit of longing, patience, and devotion through trying circumstances, and you get this stunningly beautiful track.

Building on the heavenly acoustic influences of tracks such as Sweet Marie and Forever Be Upstanding At The Door, Red Star is sure to make your heart melt.

Produced on the Isle of Wight
Premiered on Flood Magazine’s Website today, the track is performed by CHAMPS with additional production by Sean Oakley, Rob and Jim Homes. It was mixed by David Granshaw at the fantastic Chale Abbey Studios.

It’s accompanied by yet another gorgeous music video by Anna + Kate.

Now there’s a use for the floating bridge at last, it’s quite used to sitting in one place for long periods of time

If the new people on the council can sort out a usable and reliable floating bridge and more frequent bus services to East Cowes, this new project could be a go-er. Or, is it just a posh restaurant for people to arrive by chauffeur in their limousines? I have a lot of sympathy for poor, run-down, East Cowes. Victoria would not have been amused!

If it brings visitors and revenue and jobs and reputation it can be as posh or pathetic as it likes. Bring on limousine parking issues in East Cowes, I say.

Hope it won’t turn into a relatively poor mans Royal Yacht Squadron! Will it price out (to quote MP’s favourite phrase) hard working ordinary families?
