It has plenty of synth-funk stylings going on, but not enough soul.

It reminds me a bit of Bovvie's "John I'm Only Dancing (Again)".

Just a bit of a mess.

In a very Human League sort of way.

That D. Bovvie fellow has a lot to answer for.

This could be much better if the production wasn't so clinical and cold.

The driving, squelchy synths should be the star of the show (a bit like "Boogie On Reggae Woman"), but they're swamped by all the tinny, clattering syn-percussion noises.

Some dramatic chords are helping this one a bit.

But, again, it's hamstrung by the production and arrangement.
