Spyke
When it comes around to revision time I always like to download a few new albums and just leave them playing in the background as I sit and attempt to sift through many a past paper. Last week saw the release of both Nicki Minaj's 'Roman Reloaded' and Labrinth's 'Electronic Earth' so after downloading them both I set down to get some Stats learnt. Needless to say that Ms Minaj's work with RedOne wasn't the most calming influence so I skipped over to try a bit of Labrinth.
After starting his solo career with three top 5 smashes I was expecting big things but unfortunately the album just didn't deliver as much as I had hope. The auto-tuned sound that works so well on the recent Last Time just gets rather over used to minimal effect throughout the album. Plus as much as Earthquake is an absolute tune, I don't think the album needed three versions of it on - but thanks. With all of Simon Cowell's pull you'd have thought there might have been a couple of
So by the end of the album you can imagine my surprise at hearing this beautiful track featuring Emeli Sande. A track that would have fit in perfectly on the Emile's own debut 'Our Version of Events' but not really on a computer generated sounding 'Electronic Earth' album. I would be very surprised if this doesn't get released as a single sometime soon. The two artists' voices just harmonize and complement each others so soothingly It did take me a few listens for me to grasp the concept of the song looking 'beneath your beautiful' but it really is a radio friendly tune that has potential to become another top 5 single for them both.
The only bit which sounds a bit off is when they both try and sing 'Take it off now Girl/[Boy]' at the same time and you wonder who's singing what. Other than that it's great.
