PHAROAHE MONCH – Body Baby – 2007 – Single review
RATING: 1/5
Not quite what I was expecting I have to admit and as far from last single Push in virtually every conceivable way possible. This features bluesy piano tinkling, a tongue-in-cheek (but still toss) Elvis-impersonator chorus, lame flows about something or other and what sounds suspiciously like the drum beat (I hesitate to call it a ‘break’) from Phil Collins’ shit 80s ‘hit’ You Can't Hurry Love. Subtract the words ‘The’ and ‘Dog’s’ from the phrase ‘The Dog’s Bollocks’ and you sum it up in a nutshell. Apologists for this will try and claim it’s ironic and shows what a joker Monch is. I’ll tell you what’s ironic. The fact that this is the single that promotes the much delayed LP. Oh yeah – it sounds a little bit like Will Smith’s Switch too. It’ll probably be up the charts faster than a speed-dosed rat up a drain pipe.
Out 18 June 2007.
