We remember looking at the track listing for The Vamps album, seeing this and thinking, ‘a cover…ok, we’ll let you have that’.

But thing about Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart) is that it only really borrows two things from the original Simon & Garfunkle track, simply titled Cecilia, that being the chorus and, in part, the rhythm. Apart from that the lyrics are original and in one way, probably bring a 70s song up to date and exposing it to a new audience. It’s their track whilst keeping elements of the original and for us not a bad track.

Rating: 4/5
