Going Steady: New singles 2-3-22 – 2-9-22 Reviewed
SAD B!TCH – Anne-Marie – nice nasal delivery and tough minded modern dance thriller, it wil be huge in the UK – B
Hungry Heart – Darlene Love a little obvious sure, but Darlene sings it very well, especially during the breaks where she wails – B+
Eye Know – De La Soul, Otis Redding – we all know why De La Soul is releasing old songs on streaming services (because finally they can) and the Otis Redding sampled “Eye Know” from their 3 Feet And Raising is a taste and it is better than you remember – Single Of The Week – A
Ma Boy – Dreamville, JID, Lute – rapper J Cole’s imprint have hit from time to time, the hook here is beyond irritating – C-
Like A Saviour – Ellie Goulding – by the numbers EDM and worse, Ellie has lost the knack on this average and worse dance track – C
Internet Trolls – GloRilla – the latest black woman rapper from Texas, where they seem to have more backbone than most pleases. But this one won’t do it, the rapping is okay but the song isn’t very exciting – C+
Too Much Music – Jake Shears – Scissor Sister Jake at his disco best with a glam gay happening though not his best – B
La Fórmula – Maluma, Marc Anthony – two generations of Latin pop men join together for a straightforward salsa track and not the reggaeton you might expect from Maluma – B
X SI VOLVEMOS – KAROL G, Romeo Santos – the Aventura star is joined by reggaeton beauty on some straightforward latin trap meets Bachata – B
THE SOUND – Stray Kids – the new old school K-pop boy band is a mix of modern pop and Korean vibes – B
bleedthemtoxins (feat. Joana Gomila, NNAMDÏ, Shamir, Quelle Chris0 – Temps – remember the UK comedian James Acaster -a truly funny fellow who two years ago put Ricky Gervais viciously back in his transgendered lane, none of which has anything to do with this techno driven snooze and where exactly is Shamir?- C
Chucks (feat. Channel Tres) – Terrace Martin – Techno beats to nowhere and has Channel ever sounded less Tres-y? – C+
