Drew6
We Kiss
Club West Records
Local boys Drew6, shamelessly do what others can’t or won’t, which is to write mass-appeal pop songs. Self-aware singer-songwriters, all smug, sincere and broke as hell, may dismiss pop artists, but what’s most important is where that trail of laughter leads, which is straight to the bank.
With its latest, We Kiss, Drew6 shows it has no pretenses. The record is an unbelievably polished collection of catches and traps carefully designed to ensnare the female listener. Profound meaning may be buried somewhere on We Kiss, but let’s hope not. It would actually be disappointing to find Six has anything other than getting it on in mind when he cries out: “It’s go time, it’s lock and load time. Here’s the lowdown, I came to throw down!”
At only nine songs, including the requisite acoustic, power-ballad closer, We Kiss manages to efficiently check off each party-band requirement in record time...
Six and his group won’t ever be accused of subtlety... Music snobs scoff all you want, but if these guys hit it big, it’s going to be your little sister, or possibly mom, screaming from the front row.
