| Justin Llamas - Gold EP |
Release Date: Out Now
Flattery will get you a long way
with me, I’m that shallow. So when Justin Llamas approached me with praise for
a previous review I had written I felt compelled to give his new EP a listen at
the very least. The Gold EP opens with ‘Got It Out For Me’ and it’s as
instantly poppy and paranoid as when I first reviewed it with its crunch beats
and dirty bass. ‘Last In Line’ has a Drifters meets Bruno Mars via Meghan
Trainor feel about to it while ‘Tile Floor’ is more dramatic with it’s made-for-MTV
piano stabs and dramatic beats.
EP title track ‘Gold’ features
the additional vocal talents of Amina Harris and has that defiantly poppy feel
that Temposhark used to employ so well but mixed with some hip-hop vibes. ‘Figure
Things Out’ closes the EP out and it’s a cinema ready ballad as Llamas’ smooth
vocal signs off with a sense of heartache and regret. The MTV and E4
generations should lap this up and Llamas obviously has knack for writing a
smooth pop song so it’s all looking golden from here….sorry.
