Love Song a pulsating slice of pure hi NRG disco drama which Music News declared to be “a treat of a song with a beat and harmony that stands toe to toe with ‘Human League’. A great song from a very promising talent”.Butterflies meenwhile continues to cast a dark shadow on the nations dancefloor where a womans obsession with a closeted gay boyband star spirals into deadly confrontation.Think Misery set to a mesmerizing synth pop epic. The acclaimed hit cover of the Pet Shop Boys seminal classic Rent which has recieved international support with Indie London declaring Price and the cover to be “reverentential whilst stamping his own identity on procedings and doing enough to suggest he maybe an interesting new act to emerge of the electro pop scene” and exposure from BBC Radio,RTE Pulse and JOY94.Produced in collaboration with producer Ben Dobie of hitmaking production team thrillerjill and whose work as an engineer includes Natalie Imbruglia,Bryan Addams,Sugababes,the recording of this single lead to a signing with indie record label Intense Presence Records .The glorious self penend pop classic Spend A Little Time has already earned favorable reviews from critics including allgigs who declared “On the basis of this track Price deserves a big break with his personal touch of mild electronic magic,a track that almost floats along on a celestial wave of soothing elctro synth that calls to mind David Byrne. It is a big name to conjure up in comparison but Price constructs the song so perfectly that it is a comparison that is more than deserving” and Music News who enthused that the song was “addictive,danceable and pure fun”.whilst the anthemic In The City a track profiled by Music Week and NME and played on BBC Radio has caused quite a stir on dancefloors from Manchester to Melbourne.2011 sees the EP release with Price about to undertake another tour,no doubt bringing the audiences to a virtual standstill with his “enticing visual spectacle”
