Sentimental New York

Cools Rockabilly Club

The review

“Sentimental New York” turns Cools Rockabilly Club's streetwise image toward a polished city ballad. The vocal carries real wistfulness, while the arrangement frames New York less as a place than as a distant romantic ideal.

The result sits naturally between rock'n'roll and late-seventies urban pop. Coupled with “Kaze ga Kawaru Mae ni,” it captures a band broadening its sound without losing its cool, sharply defined character.
