Paul Rey – Good As Hell

“Wants to have a bit of a boast.”

Tim: As ‘PJ’ he was a rapper a few years back.

Tom: So was one half of Ant and Dec. I’m assuming that this PJ’s moved on to another career too?

Tim: Indeed – with a rebranding as Paul Rey, he’s a pop singer, who right now wants to have a bit of a boast.

Tim: To be honest, though, I don’t begrudge him that because he seems a nice enough guy and it’s nice when people are happy (even if it has taken him several years to get over someone). Despite giving up the rapping, he still seems very much leaning towards the speaking side of pop rather than singing, though I’m fairly sure that works in his favour. The lyrics are much easier to pay attention to, and for a large part they’re all the song’s about.

Tom: That’s true, but if you’re doing that, you really need the rest of the song to be somewhat melodic, or at least a bit catchy, and I just don’t think it manages that.

Tim: Oh, really? Because come the second half of the chorus, TUNE, so I suppose really this song has everything it needs. Some would no doubt care for more —

Tom: You’re right there.

Tim: — I’m happy as it is, though.
