7. Tropics – ‘Blame’
A brittle ambient piano ballad
From Chris Ward’s forthcoming album Rapture due February on Innovative Leisure, ‘Blame’ showcases the man’s trademark lush piano-lead ambient electronics and tells the tale of a breakup of a relationship with the music rising along with lyrics that plea “blame me for all of this, just come back home”.
