Press Reviews GODS OF MUSIC Review by: Alex Coch ARTIST: JOE KS KID SONG: I DONT WANNA SAY GBYE GENRE: ALTERNATIVE EDGY POP ROCK SIMILAR: BATTERSHELL, VERUCA SALT, ALANIS(?) Although I Dont Wanna Say Gbye is a song that is very well structured and produced, it wasn’t love at first sight –all emotions are spelled flat out (not to mention I can’t really relate to them – they are too female-specific for me) and the limited vocal range applied here (less than half an octave) is not quite to my taste. However, the song not only bears repeated listening, it actually requires it. I Dont Wanna Say Gbye is, in fact, addictive. The deceptive simplicity of its vocal line (both verse and chorus) serves the song better than any other, more elaborate approach, and I can see many women actually relating to the topic and straightforwardness of the song’s lyrics. I was actually humming along after few listens, which I don’t normally do. And last but not least, the guitar riffs are instantly catchy and gratifying, with enough grittiness without the anger, a perfect complement to the (again) deceptive simplicity of the vocal presence. Competently (and deliberately) restrained musicianship conveys the song’s bounty of heart and soul, a fact that is also revealed after several listens (since it sounds somewhat detached and glassy at first). All in all, I Dont Wanna Say Gbye is an edgy pop song with enough character and (at the same time) naïveté to be enjoyed the world over. I, for one, will pop it in again as soon as I finish this masterpiece…
