After the slight rejuvination of Oasis that happened due to the release of Hindu Times it is great to see the lads from Manchester following in their own footsteps and working to cement themselves back at the top of British music. Songbird harks back to the earlier Oasis work, the likes of Don't Look Back In Anger and Slide Away are remembered as you listen to this. It is that I have been waiting for from an Oasis song, the ability to step away from the lacklusture Be Here Now and simply diabolical Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants, and remember the start of it all and how those songs touched you for the first time. A great song supported by better than average B-sides and a glut of early ninetys britpop memories. A resounding hit after so long.
