Feargal Sharkey - Wish
Review by Григорий Пиков
Wish, the debut solo album by Feargal Sharkey, is a captivating collection of songs that showcases his powerful vocals and songwriting abilities. Released in 1988, the album was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in the UK charts.
The album opens with the title track "A Good Heart", a catchy pop song that was a massive hit for Sharkey, topping the charts in several countries. The song features a memorable chorus and an infectious melody that will have listeners singing along.
Other standout tracks include "You Little Thief", a haunting ballad that showcases Sharkey's emotive vocals, and "Loving You", a mid-tempo song that features a memorable guitar riff and a catchy chorus.
Throughout the album, Sharkey demonstrates his ability to write songs that are both catchy and emotionally resonant. His lyrics often deal with themes of love and heartbreak, but they are delivered with an honesty and sincerity that makes them feel fresh and original.

About Feargal Sharkey
Sean Feargal Sharkey was born on 13 August 1958 in Derry (Northern Ireland)
He found fame as the lead singer of the Undertones, whose singles provided some of the best punk-pop of the late 70's. The band eventually fell apart in 1983, after which Sharkey teamed up with Vince Clarke in a one-off project called "The Assembly". The plaintive "Never Never" single that came out of it was a massive hit which enabled Feargal Sharkey to show the power of his distinctive vocal style. In 1984 he recorded the underrated "Listen To Your Father
