Lose My Breath

The sight of a new DC record in the pile is something to set the heart a fluttering, especially given the standards set by all three in their solo dalliances. Why then is ‘Lose My Breath’ so disappointing? Maybe it is that weight of expectation, although with a string of such great singles behind them, we could have hoped for something a little better than this. The problem comes at the record’s very heart, that despite the presence of no less than eight writers, it’s simply not a very good song. Indeed there’s hardly a song at all buried beneath the flashy production, just an incessant beat and overcomplicated vocals.
