T2 ft Jodie - Heartbroken

xpost, sorry to disappoint you?

Drew, this female vocal is way worse than most of the 80s freestyle stuff (which was mostly GREAT, and often powerful and deep - Liz Torres? come on!), but there were a couple things in the early 90s that were similar - can't remember the titles because I have repressed them (although I remember one song which rhymed "heart" with "heart"). One analogy would be INOJ which is of course way better (maybe not quite as piercing).

i agree with you drew, it certainly reminds me of the 80s freestyle stuff (i didn't realise until you mentioned it!). and come on now SC, debbie deb was hardly a powerful/deep vocalist was she?

it's the simple cartoonlike feel to the song that brings it to mind, though i don't know any other songs in this genre (is it 4x4? bassline?), could anyone recommend similar bright catchy tracks to check out?

Do you really think that any of Debbie Deb's vocal performances are anywhere near the irritation factor of the "Heartbroken" vocal??

It's odd too, because I loved so much of the helium vocals in earlier garage tracks. This one is just diabolically annoying.

it's cos she's flat.

still love it tho; irritating = tenacious, sometimes, magically

"Heartbroken" makes "When I Hear Music" and "Lookout Weekend" sound like Maria Callas.

I'm still open to liking this track.

have you heard 'What's It Gonna Be' yet? the new T2 has less annoying vocals also.

single of the year, yes!

damn this is fucking hot.

okay 5 mins later this is annoying.

Steve, haven't heard it yet, will listen.

I really don't like the vocals on Heartbroken and was worried I wasn't really going to 'get' any of the big bassline singles but the Addictive feat T2 record is astonishingly good.

what a song

correct

some of the things we used at my last lab job were labeled T2 so this song always came in my head when i saw them

the personal late-period nostalgia on this one is so strong and evocative and melancholy
