By the onstage name of this man and the above picture of him, you may not be expecting much of this single. Boogaloo Stu (however comical the name) claims to play “glam-rock and sparkly 80s electro.

On the two CDs I was given to review of this single, there is the original song and 6 other re-mixes. In general, most of the re-mixes sound the same during the chorus. The differences between the original and the re-vamped versions are negligible.

“Magnetic Heart” is well produced. At times it’s ambient, but when it needs to be its clear and concise. However, good production can’t save a poor song, and to be honest this song just isn’t that great. It really is hard to say anything good or bad about a song when it is this middle-of-the-road. But that said, my perceived mediocrity of this single should give away that “Magnetic Heart” isn’t a classic, nor even a top 100 breaking single.

All in all, when a fully-grown adult male dresses like a “lazy town” character, it is impossible for me to trust him to make serious, enjoyable music.
