Starting off with a piano melody reminiscent of Evanscence then chuck in a bit of the healthier side of Enter Shikari with poppy synth and a hard hitting beat and you have a fitting introduction to ‘Losing You’.
I feel the desperation that is set through the song and feel drawn along till the end which, even at four minutes, almost feels over too soon. The track is quite straight forward in that the structure is built of just verses and chorus, yet does not does not bore or feel empty. A great sound to hear come out from Sweden. Their MySpace has some great tour videos so go see!

Tina say’s…
The enthralling opening keys of ‘Losing You’ lead us into a heartfelt track that showcases a nice, even mix of clean vocals and screaming. I think it is this inclusion of both types of vocal that could see this track crossover to have more commercial success. Despite the song having such a simple structure, the emotion captured within easily holds your attention. If like me, you like this track, definitely go check out Dead By April’s Myspace. Their other offerings won’t disappoint!
