SINGLE REVIEW: SIMEON HAMMOND DALLAS - DO I DIE? (PIANO VERSION)

Never one to photographed standing upright if it can be avoided, the latest release from Simeon Hammond Dallas, has her laying on the floor, with her hair splayed out, her legs in the air highlighting her sparking footwear, while the foreshortening effect of the picture elongates her left arm as it almost looks to reach out of the frame. Anyone who purchased the lyric book to Simeon's excellent "Seventeen" EP will by now be used to her appearing at various angles, normally atop kitchen surfaces! There is a lot to take in on the picture, however the thing the brings us back to the title are Simeon's eyes, that have a striking stare as if asking

"Do I Die before I'm done"

"Do I Die" was undoubtedly one of the singles of last year, majestic in its Fleetwood Mac swagger, with Simeon providing a divine vocal over it.

To officially mark the beginning of Sad Girl Autumn, Simeon has returned to her fabulous creation and re-imagined it as a piano ballad, the results are sumptuous, all that you might have hoped for and more, with Simeon's vocal given full range to swoop, soar and extend as she feels fit.

If you loved the original then please seek this out ultra special version and if you've not heard either then go remedy the situation immediately. Could Simeon Hammond Dallas make history and provide the best single of the year, two years running with different versions of the same song? - Quite possibly - it is simply that good.
