Single// Chase & Status, Fool Yourself.

Taken from the London based electro duo’s second album; their new single
“Fool Yourself” falls short of the standard of their recent singles.

For instance, singles such as; “Blind Faith” and “Let You Go” understandably,
took the UK dance and even pop scene by storm. However, it’s hard to
understand how “Fool Yourself” will achieve the same effect.

In fairness, there are high points, such as the racing up-tempo bouts of
deliciously heavy synthesizers. Yet, the constant repetition of “You can only fool
yourself for so long,” which are, infact, the only lyrics that appear in the song,
looped between Plan B and Rage’s undeniably different vocal styles, does
somewhat belittle their song writing skills.

Putting it’s faults aside, the foundations of a good dance single can be seen,
although vaguely, hopefully this is just a blip in their  single discography and
their next release will be up to the standard of their previous material.
