It's always dangerous
to publicize a song as "the summer's sure hit single" on a press
release, especially when the item in question is an independent
release. Here, "pop-soul songstress" Clara Lofaro teams up
with World Beat vocalist Denison George ("This Is Me") and
Reggae producer Sidney Mills to compose a sunny pop/reggae
crossover track. Everyone plays their part ostensibly; Lofaro
handles her vocals with admirable diva-liciousness, and George
interjects his little pieces of pseudo-rap. However, the song itself
is flat and even lackadaisical, leaving the track unfortunately
spiritless; meanwhile, the production is by-the-numbers, and neither singer
brings the necessary punch to the composition. Lofaro et al may have
envisaged you enjoying this track while soaking in the summer sun;
unfortunately, right now all I'm soaking in is dissatisfaction. You
could pay the inexcusable five bucks to get this sucker on CD,
though I suggest just peeping the video below. One listen should be
enough.
