3/10

14/11/12 | Cooking Vinyl 

Any fans of FIFA 13 should already know this song well. And like Colours by Grouplove ÔÇô featured on the last FIFA game, and now nigh on unlistenable due to overexposure ÔÇô I think youÔÇÖll get sick of it pretty quick; only this one deserves it. Hilariously mismatching Jon McClureÔÇÖs hard-as-Sheffield-steel vocals with the campest, bounciest synths imaginable, one canÔÇÖt help feeling they shouldÔÇÖve sold the song to another artist, or a major label. But then maybe they wouldnÔÇÖt pay as much as FIFA; not for half a chorus and a verse lacking noteworthy tune. ItÔÇÖs worth looking up the acoustic version online for a hint of what this can be live, with some interest injected in the performance, but on the record? Decent background music, nothing more.
