CD Review - Black Affair - It's Real [Single] Black Affair - It's Real [Single]

permalink
This track starts with what can only be described as a purposeful throwback to the eighties. There are claps galore and for a moment it feels like you are listening to the Miami Vice or Beverly Hills Cop theme tunes.

If only it were that good!! After multiple listens I am wondering why this was chosen as a single for Black Affair? I also ponder that if this is the single then how boring and uninteresting must the album be? And the answer is.... VERY!

It just appears that this guy is just band wagon jumping onto the current 80's love that is going on right now. Don't these guys realize that the 80's was actually one of the shitest eras for music in general? Everything became electronic and not in a good way but in a way of cheese. The good side of the electronic scene happened in the 90s with the likes of The Prodigy and The Shamen. The 80's consisted of bands miming on Top of The Pops playing guitars in videos that blatantly didn't have any guitar in it. No Rock and Roll invovled just some boring shit. Obviously there are bands that were awesome in the 80s. But, if this band existed in the 80s they would still be shit. They would still be wannabes and making hookless music that will sink into the depths of the ocean and never catch a bite from a minnow let alone a shark.

This song basically has zero dynamics. It is one long boring and monotonous journey that never actually takes you anywhere other than the initial vocal you hear. It's one tracked, monotonous and boring. I am wondering when this track is gonna pick up and get harder or softer or even when it's gonna get me interested.

The answer is never. If you like electronic music you will hate this. If you like good music you will hate this. In fact I am wondering to myself who will actually buy this track? Probably no one.
