Cruz Beckham (and don’t forget The Breakers!) – For Your Love

Spare a thought for The Breakers.  I don’t know if they are just Cruz Beckham’s band (in a Cliff Richard and The Shadows kind of way) or just hired musicians who have come in for this single. Yet they don’t even get a name check until part way through the video and even then, they don’t get one on the YouTube title for this video.  Regardless, I’m happy to remain blissfully unaware of their true connections with the third child of David and Victoria Beckham (who I think made their money selling used cars, or on Love Island or, well, something like that).

I wasn’t even going to press play, but I did, and was pleasantly surprised – so much in fact that I thought I would let you make your own minds up too.  I think if Blur and Oasis had a secret love child with Kula Shaker and Deep Purple, then the child might grow (metaphorically) to be something like Cruz Beckham (and The Breakers, don’t forget The Breakers).  This is Cruz’ third single (apparently) after Optics and the very unappealingly titled Lick the Toad (I am not curious).  It does rock in a gentle kind of rocky manner and Mr Beckham has a pretty good voice.  That sounds like I'm damning with faint praise but I genuinely did enjoy this.  But, am I the only one to think Cruz is vaguely reminiscent (looks-wise) of a youngish David Bowie?  Not sure about the moustache, though. Really not sure about the moustache.

Anyway, the video has a cute little intro and outro, which adds well to the overall effect.  But best of all is that this is a good tune, a bit of a toe tapper, a three minute poptastic popgasm. So, yes, we like it. Watch For Your Love below.
