magic numbers - love's a game

So far we've seen the up lifting, feel good, if you like, fire you up for a night out side of the Magic Numbers with their single releases. 'Love's A Game' is the lazing on a Sunday afternoon side to their music, and reveals their very enjoyable soft under belly.

The track has the bands instantly recognizable harmonies, soft and easy on the ear melodies and catchy hook lines that get stuck in your head but in a way that doesn't annoy. All of which has earnt them a massive fan base, critical acclaim and more award nominations than they'd know what to do with.

If I'm honest though this is, for me, the weakest of their singles to date, but that's really a reflection on how great the last couple were rather than a criticism of this one. Their last single, 'Love Me Like You' is up there as one of the best songs of 2005 without a doubt.

'Love's a Game' is available from Monday 24th October and is being released to support their sold out UK tour, an achievement that is well deserved as Magic Numbers were one of the must see bands on the festival circuit this summer. They're well worth a look if you haven't already done so.
