9 O’Clock Nasty – Too Cool (Track Review)

1 min read

The song begins with a catchy Funk Rock guitar riff reminiscent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers; however, the later revealed influences are more than just Funky music. The double vocals blend into the stereo field and deliver an old school Rap attitude (check out Ice T and Beastie Boys) which brings back memories of the “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)” song. The orchestration has some more surprises because the guitar solo is 1970s Classic Rock-oriented, so this track includes music elements from all the generations of Rock music. Moreover, the mood of the song is happy and celebrative, a fact that makes the song accessible for many potential Playlist curators. In general, although this song confused me in the beginning, now the more I listen to it, the more I find interesting and smart music that impresses me. I hope that you will have the opportunity to check for yourselves!
