TRACK REVIEW: White Collar Rebel – Valentine

Valentine kicks off with a strumming pattern similar to The Jam’s That’s Entertainment, but that’s where any further similarities end. I read in their press release that they are influenced by 90’s acid house which I can’t really detect in this song, maybe White Collar Rebel have vastly changed direction?

The track is probably too top 40 influenced for me. Don’t get me wrong, it has its place in the musical landscape, it’s just a little bit too clean and overproduced and a bit generic in the lyrics department for me. The lads definitely know how to write a tune though. Valentine is due to be released on 2^nd September with a gig at the Head of Steam in Newcastle on Friday 6^th.
