Jose Gonzalez
Hand On Your Heart
Video
José González has swiftly become a household name of some repute. The breakthrough came with the now classic "Heartbeats" single in January and the album hasn't shifted far from the Top 40 ever since. This is without doubt one of the biggest (and most applauded) success stories of 2006 thus far.
This follow up to the "Crosses" single is yet another fine example as to why the platinum selling Veneer has connected with the British public to such a huge degree. If you thought that "Heartbeats" was a cover version to cherish, wait until you hear his through-the-ringer take on Kylie's "Hand on Your Heart". Precious is a word that springs to mind. Apparently the lovely lady has heard it and thoroughly approves of the revolutionary restructuring. The single is also backed by "Sensing Owls", one of his best non-album tracks to be released so far.
Hand On Your Heart will be released in the UK on 03.07.06.
Things just keep going from strength to strength and show no signs of stopping.
José has also been out on tour singing with Zero 7 in May/June and will also be appearing over the summer with a string of festival dates.
