‘Not Right For You’ is something I listened to with that in mind and in all honesty, I was geared up to rip it apart if need be. But after reaching the minute mark, I’d forgotten all of that, and found myself absorbed by tight timings and soundly constructed instrument building.
On a second listen, it’s a lot easier to keep yourself grounded and really listen to the nitty gritty of what makes the song tick. It’s then that you realise that Tom isn’t self-indulgent or ahead of himself. The single itself states that. By not pretending to be something he isn’t, the song feels honest, flowing from verse to verse, putting no strain on any one element and allowing for an easy listen. His heart and soul is in this song, but there is no need for a second single for anyone to know that both his seriousness and talent will continue over.
