Glee-pop gone terribly wrong

The release of Young London’s self-titled album is some attempt at glee-pop electronic with Owl City-esque vocals in the form of a guy-girl duo. It is reminiscent of Radio Disney, though I would not recommend it even for those who enjoy Radio Disney.

The Boston duo’s debut is a launch in the wrong direction. With track titles as cliche as “Summer Valentine” and “U Got Me,” their approach was an obvious mimicry of pop songs and sounds we’re already familiar with and loathe.

Aside from the album sounding like one continuous song at an underage club where you’d pay $12 to get in to play in foam and drink a kiddy cocktail, there was little creativity in making the album distinct.

With Katy Perry, Robyn and Lady Gaga in the playing field, there’s simply no room for what Young London is trying to do.
