Roni Size – Don't Hold Back.Roni Size – Don't Hold Back

I'll be honest from the outset. This isn't my cup of tea. I'm an indie/rock/acoustic fan. This is grimy RnB, and although for the genre it's probably incredible and will have Walkabout floors filled for months to come, it sounds like just about any other song I've heard on TMF or similar music channel. The bone I have to pick with these tunes is the backing track. The same thing from start to finish, I'm sure a lot more could be done. As to be fair, the vocals aren't bad and the main chorus is quite catchy.

A few remixes are featured on the single, including the TC & D*Minds Remix which I actually really enjoy, mainly I think, because it reminds me of when I was fourteen. Think of Bomfunk MC's crossed with that irritating "Jungle is Massive" song, and you've got it exactly.

Overall, slightly better than average. I know I'm not a fan of the style, but an amazing song would make anyone prick up their ears. It's got potential though, if played to the right people, and not me.

3/5
