Review: I'm on TV


Ryan Cook 2010-11-14



Album - Plastic Paradise. When I watched the promotional video for I'm on TV's new single Must Get Away I must admit, I thought that it was terrible, I'm talking about the whole package, song and video et al. So I thought that the title was quite fitting, as that was what I wanted to do, get away. However one bad song does not a bad album make. Right? Wrong! The lyrics are poor: "..my t-shirts wet, my boobs are real" I shit you not!! ‘Lost and Found', the ‘singing' of said lyrics, is no Idol winner standard and the music is bad, I mean there are signs of what they have been trying to do but sadly they just don't do it. At all.

The lyrics attempt to follow the colour by numbers song writing rule book, and really fail rather painfully and badly. Sofia Nordström, the woman behind I'm on TV, quite frankly can't sing, and she peppers the album with needless and ear shredding yelps which honestly sum up this effort, ear shredding and painful.

The normal discourse is to try and pick the bad points of an album out, however I'm gonna have to try and do the opposite on this one and try and find some good points. Erm...the album cover is quite nice, other than that, no sorry I just can't do it.

And the weird vocal thing at the end of It's all You is, for want of a better word, and I'm sorry if I'm over using this word, weird.

Rating: 1/5
