Amelle // God Won’t Save You Now [Feat. DBX]

As I’ve previously mentioned, I don’t think much of the band known as the Sugababes right now. They were producing great music when founding members remained in the group, but ever since Keisha was kicked out before the dreadful “Sweet 7” was released it’s been downhill from then.

I’d always thought Amelle was the member with the most potential for a solo career. Sure, she may not have to artistry to make the Sugababes what they once were - but she’s an attractive, marketable pop star, with just a little bit of that much needed grit thanks to her numerous meltdowns and brawls she always seems to be getting into. And with “Freedom” flopping so hard they gave it away for free and the band seemingly going on temporary hiatus, now seems like a better time than ever for her to release some solo stuff.

With production from British producer DBX, Amelle has got everything right with this one. From the get-go, with its piano led intro “God Won’t Save You Now” is on the money. With a heavy drum beat and dubstep driven verses, the track sees Adele go hard on this soon to be urban-dance anthem. Her rough, almost strained vocals have are filled with character, against pounding the synths of the mahoosive chorus.

It all gets even better in the last sixty seconds, with the tempo switching up for one final stab at the chorus. Amelle’s given us a ‘told you so, right back at ya’ type aggressive track, which is as well produced as it is catchy. I wasn’t expecting much from her, but man this is good.

A quite wonderful racket.
