Review - Groove Armada Ft Will Young: History

IF this were a Friends episode – which let’s face it doesn’t really make sense ‘cos it’s like a song and everything and, anyway, Friends is over – it’d be called The One Where Will Sings Like Jimmy Somerville.

SINGLE - WILL YOUNG: HOPES & FEARS

ABOVE: Very lilting and melodic

16th November 2009

Your Shout ( 0 )

WHILE the voice is as warm and cosy as treacle pudding, the chorus is reminiscent of early noughties Ronan Keating.

Like Rollercoaster or Lovin’ Each Day, it’s all very lilting and melodic.

It’s perfectly nice and there’s even a synth breakdown towards the ¾ point of the song.

But on the whole, it sounds like Will has run out of ideas.

It would be nice to seeing him taking his original nu-jazz sound and funking it up a bit into something a little dancier, a little dirtier.

Maybe next time Will?
