Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8,5/10

The internet age is a double edged sword that looks as though it will forever wield a divisive touch to everything that will appear through the void and for all to notice, too be subjected to, for all to find and enjoy a moment’s diversion for.

For every moment of rare beauty or thrilling masterpiece you might stumble across, there a million serpents spilling their venom of dissatisfaction and scowling features of disgust at you for not believing in their message, for ignoring their own attributed sense of self-worth as they dictate that what they do, they do it for the public’s health and enjoyment.

It is to those who work tirelessly, almost out of sight by the multitude, seemingly without recognition, certainly without favour by the mainstream, that seek to enlighten the soul, and without the sense of backhanded glad tidings that come from being thrust to the front as they play just for you.

In that swirling tide that ebbs and flows the unknown delight, you can come across a greatness that seems untouched, like finding a masterpiece that wasn’t painted by Turner, Constable or Pitman and yet had all the hallmarks of the era and which captivated the eye just as much as any of the British masters could imagine; it is to Wazbhos that such a musical masterpiece exists and in his song 4U, that captivation of the senses is enlarged, urging patience, displaying a dedication that will fill your heart.

There are moments in life when you come across the sublime and just watch in awe as you realise that in amidst the venomous serpents that make our lives intolerable, in the rocks that the shrouded sirens use as bait to destroy the once seaworthy and able, that there are islands of salvation that will take you to places of comfort you could never hope to entertain. It is on one of those islands that Wazbhos has set up his stall and offered his soul to be explored.

The internet is many things, but occasionally it can be the beacon of light you want it to be, a towering song that illuminates the darkness, and if you take the message to heart, then you know it is 4U.
