Smash Hits review of Since Yesterday
8 November 1984
Singles reviewed by Neil Tennant
STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE
Since Yesterday
(Korova)
This begins, if I’m not mistaken, with a snatch of something famous by the composer Sibelius, and then ventures into a wistful melody, sung in brittle harmonies which touches the heart. One of the few records this week which isn’t trying to sound like something else.
