Rixton: 'Me and My Broken Heart' - Single review

Rixton are getting a bit fed up of being compared to all those boyband types. What was it that helped the hard-done-by Manchester troupe overcome their terrible grievance? "We realised boybands get a lot of women." Their words. That said, while the charismatic four-piece may be enjoying the attention of masquerading as a boyband, their new single hears them navigating the deep and murky waters of a broken heart.

Some of the best songs ever written about love come from the darkest gnarls of human experience and the most tortured of souls. Rixton have cheekily managed to sidestep the classic heartbreak-to-hit formula to create an upbeat, lolloping pop tune with nothing to suggest any plucking of the heart strings except the title itself. The Maroon 5-tinged groove and sampling of Rob Thomas's 2005 hit 'Lonely No More' means 'Me and My Broken Heart' may not be the most original ode to grace the airwaves, but Rixton can sleep safe in the knowledge that they've risen above their love/hate boyband title.
