Stars And Sons - If It’s Good For Me

Single Reviews

A piano-led belter of a song.

Twice Burnt, 12th April 2010 / By Gareth O’Malley
Stars And Sons - If It’s Good For Me This lot don’t do things by halves, that much is clear. Brighton quartet Stars and Sons throw absolutely everything - including the kitchen sink - into their songs, and forthcoming single ‘If It’s Good For Me’ is no exception.

A piano-led belter of a song, it is strangely reminiscent of Elle Milano (at least to an extent), which is obviously a good thing. The raucous three minutes of pop brilliance finds singer Mike Lord having a pop at the so-called healthy lifestyle, tongue lodged firmly in cheek as he delivers such lines as, ‘Do not adjust my routine / I’ll eat organic baked beans / I’ll drink Yakult, no caffeine, if it’s good for me’.

The song’s taken from the band’s debut album, ‘Good Morning Mother’, due for digital release… rather soon actually - 26th April. Everything points to the record being eccentric and eclectic. Will it also be excellent? Here’s hoping.
Rating: 8/10
