This is an epic electro-gospel power ballad that's really big in Germany and Switzerland right now. I think it's beautiful. I could see it being big in the US too if featured in the right movie or something.

My favourite band of the moment - why these two geniuses aren't huge in the UK I will never know! This song is just the perfect pop song but didn't even reach the Top 50 although their previous single, the equally brilliant Wonderful Life, reached 21 in the uk and was number 2 in Germany for 10 weeks. BTW, Stay was featured a recent episode of Vampire Diaries (my wife's favourite US series!) Why they don't release Illuminated as a single I just do not know. It's absolutely brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mnk4dmMIww |

I was actually surprised when I found out that they're English. They have a very continental sound.
I also love the Temper Trap remix of "Stay."

This is a really good song. The chorus is the best part, it's over the top or something. I think this flopped in the UK last year. "Wonderful Life" is still my favorite by them.

Thanks for sharing "Illuminated" bellboys. Sound great! I started a discussion about their whole album in the Under the Radar section.

Just shows you what a bit of exposure can do! Hurts sang their new single, Sunday, on Graham Norton's show last night and lo and behold their album Happiness has stormed into the Top 10 on iTunes! Wake up, Sony! Get them some exposure and the rest will be history!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGHYj5qG5GQ |

This sounds very OneRepublic to me. Not digging it.
