 When listening to the CD, you absolutely don’t miss [the guitar], as it’s brilliantly covered by the excellent use of the piano.

 'Everybody’s Changing'... is astonishing in both lyrics and music, making it the best song on the CD.

Keane's debut album 'Hopes And Fears' impresses with its unique absence of guitar, brilliantly replaced by piano and drums. The melancholic yet captivating sound is highlighted by Tom Chaplin's versatile voice and strong songwriting. Key tracks like 'Everybody's Changing' and 'Somewhere Only We Know' stand out, demonstrating the band's ability to blend emotion and melody. Overall, it's a compelling album that promises great things for the future. Listen to 'Hopes And Fears' now and experience the heartfelt piano-driven sound that made Keane a standout band.
