Tyler James: 'Single Tear' - Single review

"The concept is putting a brave face on because you have to," Tyler James recently told us about his new single. It's an apt approach for a - let's face it - failed popstar who was forced to revive his career on the The Voice. However, as the famous saying goes: what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger - and that certainly seems to have been the case for Tyler.

"Haven't cried a single tear all year/ Gotta confess though, feels like disaster," he admits over crashing drums and cinematic strings that place him somewhere between Justin Timberlake and Hurts. It's a hefty comparison we know, but one that is justified by his knack for an epic chorus and his impressive falsetto. We suspect that if Tyler's going to be doing any weeping this winter, it should be out of joy for having a sterling comeback that deserves to be the success he never had first time out.
