This is a release which for me is characterised by some good bits which don’t always add up to something more. I like a lot of what is going on, but feel that ultimately I’ve been cast adrift on the second wave of electroclash. This is nowhere more apparent than on the title track, which feels mainstream compared to the other three. These, while not quite as commercial, are also very sharply produced and big room bangers; ‘Focused’ is the slight exception, being less confrontational, but still every bit as floor filling. This isn’t a bad thing, but there’s a lack of soul and rawness that when mixed in gives some edge and in doing so, depth.
