SINGLES REVIEW
MSTRKRFT – Heartbreaker
Last Gang Records
A disappointing effort from favourites of mine MSTRKRFT. Though they adhere closely to their ethos of producing polished and regimented electro, with flawless production and busy overlapping beats, the vocal overhaul that John Legend applies lets it down somewhat.
The lyrics are simply a list of bland sentimental twaddle. Had they not been sung in such a patronisingly cheerful manner, you’d believe you were at a Sylvia Plath reading. No need to bring your own self-pity, Legend has enough for us all. 2/5
Sorry, there was an error.
