'Multiplayer' is a three-and-a-half minute romp tinged with references to 1960s pop music and guitar playing reminiscent of 1970s motown. A stark contrast, yes, but one which works perfectly. The song takes a slightly metaphorical look at love, albeit sung by Rob Jones with an air of complete innocence ("You can’t treat my heart like bagpipes anymore / Love is a game, a game for two") and the implementation of a glockenspiel adds a tinge of light-heartedness to proceedings. There is an almost comedic effect from the echoing baritone vocals, however don’t be put off as this, along with the swirling “oohs” and “whoas” just compliments the polished 1960s sound with a twist which will massage eardrums in houses up and down the country. Rating: 8/10
