Already set up as one of the most anticipated album releases of early 2012, Maverick Sabre's debut LP Lonely Are The Brave looks set to follow in the footsteps of Plan B and put itself forward as a classy joint of smoky retro flavours.
Looking to the 70s mod-ish swagger in its shuffling guitar step-beat, new single No One wraps itself up in a decadent, grandiose string section - if it had come a couple of years ago you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the latest cut from Mark Ronson's Version project.
No One is not the synthetic, rap-laced aesthetic stuff of Sabre's brilliant The Lost Words EP, but it stands as a fitting representative of the versatility that will no-doubt characterise the album-proper.
Striking for a more sombre, reflective tone than his previous two singles, it nevertheless makes for a natural continuation of the Maverick Sabre 'gentlemen's pop' brand. With collaborator Professor Green recently scoring a Number 1 single, the gauntlet is laid down for Sabre to make his own grasp for stardom.
No One is released on the 6th February.
