Young London - Young London

And Then There Were None was a metalcore band. Then they were an electronic rock group. Now they're an electronic pop duo called Young London. You follow that?

Young London is Matt Rhodes and Sarah Graziani. The duo's self-titled debut is a full on 80's and 90's electronic pop explosion. And for the most part, it's a successful endeavor. New Reputation kicks off the album and it's a mostly forgettable track. The song itself is fine but it's not a real attention grabber or high energy track kicking the record off. It's a solid song but nothing super compelling that makes you want to listen to more.

The album's first single, Let Me Go, is a song that grabs your attention. It was the first track the band ever released and it the song that made want to pick up the record. Killer hook, great melody, just a well done song. Celebrity is a bit more of a modern take on electronic pop. The song features Rome Castille and has a strong groove and another great hook. Be My Radio is a little weak lyrically but the song is fun and Young London's strong suit is writing hooks that get stuck in your head quick and Be My Radio is no different.

The rest of the album is full of hook heavy pop music but the songs just don't connect the same way Let Me Go, Celebrity, and Be My Radio do. Summer Valentine comes close but it just doesn't have the same wow factor as the other three tracks.

Overall a solid debut by Young London. A catchy pop record full of hooks that'll you'll be singing for days.
