Single Review : Grand – “Guilty Pleasure”
Review by John Rawstron
Grand return with a sparkling slice of feel-good rock on “Guilty Pleasure”, a single that proudly embraces its title and delivers four minutes of pure musical enjoyment. Packed with soaring melodies, infectious hooks and a chorus that refuses to leave your head, the track strikes the perfect balance between classic rock swagger and modern energy.
From the opening moments, “Guilty Pleasure” bursts with confidence. Crunching guitars, driving rhythms and polished production provide the ideal backdrop for a vocal performance brimming with charisma and conviction. It’s the kind of song that demands to be played loud, whether you’re behind the wheel, at a summer festival or simply looking for an instant mood boost.
What makes the single so effective is its unapologetic sense of fun. Grand aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, they focus on delivering a memorable, uplifting anthem that celebrates everything great about melodic rock. Every hook lands, every chorus soars and the band’s chemistry shines throughout.
“Guilty Pleasure” is exactly what its title suggests – although after a few listens, you’ll realise there’s absolutely no guilt involved. This is a polished, infectious and thoroughly enjoyable release that showcases Grand at their most accessible and entertaining. A genuine earworm and one of those songs you’ll find yourself returning to again and again.
