  Seven Songs for the Week #105 - 9th Apr 25

  Jason Carty

  The much heralded new album from Elton and Brandi, and they performed this track on SNL this week. There has been criticism of Andrew Watt's production over on the Hoffman Forum, and I tend to agree with them. Everything is fighting upfront in the mix to be heard, compressed into a wall of sound that's a bit overbearing, with a great drummer (Chad Smith) being forgotten about in all of this. Horns sound like synths, it's a bit odd. The song, the tune, the lyrics are all tops, and I preferred the Atmos mix on my laptop where you can enjoy Brandi's stacked b.vox. Still, the album is headed to number one in the UK, so what do I know?
