Oh, so they were making generic US whoop-holler EDM for the Tesco piped music in 2010, were they? (Genuine question: at that time I was still living in France, where all my local supermarkets played uncensored versions of the sweariest US and UK chart hits.)
To call ‘Dynamite’ EDM-by-numbers implies it goes all the way up to two. Gathering up random Post-it notes from some side-workshop at a Black Eyed Peas convention enables Taio to dazzle us with “I’m wearing all my favourite brands, brands, brands, brands / Give me some space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands”. At least it’s merely bland, bland, bland, bland. The Auto-Tune is correctly switched on too. Oh, for an unexpected item in baggage area.
