An uncomfortable reminder of INJU5TICE.

Tom: That sounds like…

Tim: A fairly generic Taio Cruz style track? Well, yes.

Tom: Exactly. Even down to the ‘ehh-ehh’s, which are an uncomfortable reminder of INJU5TICE. (No, Ian Levine, we haven’t forgotten yet.)

Tim: But are the verses different enough to make the song stand out on its own? Well, still not really, though probably a judgment call. Is there anything to note about this song at all? Actually, I think so – the BWO sounding bits in the choruses I really like, and the extra variation they bring to the song makes it different enough from most other stuff. It’s not quite so generic, and if I’m honest I actually quite like some Taio Cruz stuff.

Tom: Even Taio Cruz doesn’t sound like Taio Cruz now. He’s moved on. The rest of the world should probably do the same.

Tim: This is good and different enough that I can give this a thumbs up, I think.

Tom: I’m not sure that I can even remember what it sounds like, even straight after listening.

Tim: Actually, you might have a point there. I do remember enjoying it while it was playing, though. And I remember the swearing towards the end, which there was really no need for.
