Review: Capital Cities – Safe and Sound (Pop) Drew Wilson | May 28, 2014 By Drew Wilson This review covers the mainstream pop track Capital Cities – Safe And Sound. This track was released in 2011 but towards the beginning of 1014 and end of 2013, got more airplay on radio. It’s essentially a more easy listening track with a lot of electronica elements thrown in. For me, this track is a case of good news, bad news. The good news is that this is one of the better mainstream tracks I’ve heard in a while. The bad news is the bar for mainstream music is so low, you need to have an excavating expedition to find it. The track itself starts off half decent, but a part in the middle really gives the whole flow of the track a jarring feeling. I know that, for music production, it’s good to have a nice evolution throughout by changing the track up part way through, but for me, this attempt to accomplish that was a miserable failure. This reduces the usefulness of the track down to chopping out bits and pieces for things like car commercials (which I know this song is in at least one) to make it sound half decent. If it weren’t for the jarring middle part of the track, I would give this one a passing grade, but because of that portion, this track goes below the passing grade for me. In the end, this track is largely forgettable. Score 3.5/10 Drew Wilson on Twitter: @icecube85 Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)MoreClick to print (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...
