Been there – done that. Is this dance music déjà-vu?
I like retro sounds but “All Bad” is a collection of derivative dance tracks that are little to close to what other artists have recently put out (and I’m talking about in just the last year or two). While imitation may be the highest form of flattery it’s not a strong place to begin your career from. Not if you’re trying to leave your own mark in the music business because you only end up eating other artists’ dust at the end of the day.
The beats are tired, the production is cookie cutter like and John Gillette’s voice is over processed. While there are some catchy choruses you’ve heard them all before and they sounded better the first time you did. Nothing thought provoking here I’m afraid.
People, if you’re going to make a record then make your own record and don’t just try to sound like what was hot yesteryear. That’s my advice. Nice try Mr. Gillette et al, but no cigar!
