GNARLS BARKLEY – Going On – 2008 – Single review
RATING: 4/5
What’s going on? This will be. Constantly. All summer. Luckily the chances are you won’t mind as it’s another pretty good slice of twenty-first century retro soul - although it does recall Outkast's Hey Ya a bit. Well, quite a lot actually. This time around finds the chubby one singing some old nonsense about ‘going on’ to another and apparently happier place while the tall skinny afro’ed one laces the whole thing with psychedelic sixties harmonies and skipping percussion. Whether this is a real or metaphorical place is never made particularly clear but you’ll still feel uplifted and compelled to at least hum or tap along (if not give full voice to) this for at least the first few months of it’s stay in the charts.
Released 16 June on Warner.
