Single Review | Lawson - Roads

Lawson
Roads - Single
Global Talent / Polydor
Release date: May 3, 2015

 By Shawal Ras


Lawson has gone OneRepublic and I am not against it at all.

Earlier last month, a group of English hunks (my girlfriends stand by this statement), Lawson, released a rad new song and I kinda like it. 

 First of all, I am sorry for not reviewing this sooner. It casually slips my radar - my bad.

 Anyway, 'Roads' is a thumping and fast-paced song that sounds a lot like whatever that's available in OneRepublic's catalogue and despite that similarity, I am not complaining. I'm digging it with every listen. It is easy to my ears and pretty much a not-so-drastic sound change from their last LP, Chapman Square.

 But, these guys need to cool it down before people starts to think this is not their song. I tested this theory and my friend thought it was a work of Ryan Tedder. Yikes!

Whatever it is, listen to the track below and drop me some comment. 

 P/s: Oh, listen to the acoustic version, same chill coolness.

 Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
