What a massive tunnnnneeee! We all know the Bloc Party guys can deliver absolutely rocking indie/dance beats, ideal for getting things started (i.e. “Banquet”, “Prayer”, “Hunting for Witches”), but boy have they excelled themselves here! Blasting this one out at their summer festival appearances, ever since, there’s been a swarming demand for a single release, and here it is after much mass hysteria.
Starting off with an all-too-familiar, and infectious 90’s dance beat, the “Give me one more chance, give me one chance, give me one more chance to love you” intro, is just as contagious, getting into your head, your feet and right into your veins. A band just couldn’t wish for a better summer release, and the storming (yet ironic) chorus “This time things will be different”, sees them play out their rock edge, which doesn’t sound out of place whatsoever, but somewhat goes towards complimenting the underlying dance beat which makes it so damn good!
Anyone without an even remote interest in music couldn’t help but be drawn in by the massive magnet of musical magnitude. It’s one for the club scene: foot tapping, rave-tastic and highly addictive. It’s as if they’ve remixed a classic from say 1994, and brought it right up to date with phenomenal effect; an exemplary piece of music experimentation. In 15 years from now I’d go as far to say it’ll be just as head-turning, what with the effect of drugs pulsing throughout your body, and taking you on such a musical high. Electro, indie, feel-good vibes and Kele Okereke, what more could you need towards this true summer anthem of 2009? It is quite delicious, and I just need one more chance…to hear it…on repeat
