Single Review
Bertie Blackman – Black CatsBertie Blackman – Black Cats

Not what I was expecting – a female-fronted indie electronica kinda thing. Although, every fibre in my body hopes the rest of the material is a bit indier than this, because this is on the cusp of becoming something you'd here out in a club somewhere. But no, it's a pretty cool sound. Lots of synths provide the various undertones to a more than tuneful, a little bit sexy vocal – but yeah, if you don't like synths then you won't like this. It's a fairly simple beat, a load of synths doing different things, and the vocals. Some are high and sweeping, some are cut up and distorted, and some are deep and funky. It's nicely layered though and has a really nice texture – and is quite catchy. But, in the sense that you'll be humming the chorus for a while afterwards. You won't remember any of the words to sing along, but the melody itself, the chord progression itself, is very memorable.

4/5
