From the upfront title to blunt and accusative lyrics, sung with an unaffected accent, it is quite natural to liken Gambling’s style to that of Brit Pop bands such as Blur.
The song has a simplistic, yet effective structure, telling its story in a style that harkens back to classic ballads and folk songs. The lyrics are anything but ostentatious, using colloquial language to present an honest and realistic portrait of the character that laments through the singer.
The careful and subtle instrumentation adds a comforting dimension to the track, making up for the DIY style of recording. The track is strong and promising for the artist and is definitely one to check out.
