Keane - Hopes And Fears 20 (20th Anniversary Edition) Artist_Carl Stone it was just an excuse

it was just an excuse to rock out

and has been as creative as ever during lockdown

Although undeniably a stew of impeccable influences – from blues to folk to Latin to dusty funk

Keane - Hopes And Fears 20 (20th Anniversary Edition) Artist_Carl Stone it was just an excuseKeane's debut album album and the 11th best selling album of the 2000s in the UK. The album is full of soaring and romantic songs like Everybodys Changing and Somewhere Only We Know. Tim Rice Oxleys piano stylings range from Ben Folds on Cant Stop Now to Chris Martin on Your Eyes Open, never leaning too heavily in one direction and ultimately providing the musical backbone over which Chaplin is allowed to sweep and soar.
