Review: Far East Movement – Free Wired
If somebody asked me how I would describe Far East Movement, I’d put this formula: LMFAO + Teriyaki Boyz = Far East Movement. With that said I must also mention that I like both groups but Far East Movement actually takes it yet to another level.
Their hit single “Like A G6″ sure is a club banger that I absolutely love. I would put “Go Ape” featuring Lil Jon in the very same bucket. Even though Lil Jon’s features are a little outdated it works well here, additionally the Gwen Stefani line “This shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S” adds some flavour to the track.
Interestingly enough are also the A-list features such as Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, Snoop Dogg and Keri Hilson. By reading this line-up you can already tell that Far East Movement is going full force.
Although I am by no means a fan of Ryan Tedder I must admit that he’s done a great job on “Rocketeer”. Definitely another highlight is “If I Was You” featuring Snoop Dogg. The song mostly rocks because of its lyrics “I bet you wake up in the morning and you kiss yourself cause I would, if I was you” and the catchy chorus “OMG you so sexy”. Both tracks are without a doubt single contenders.
The Keri Hilson collaboration is nice but not exceptional. Another favorite track of mine is “White Flag” featuring Kayla Kai. The melodic uptempo is definitely a standout.
To sum it up, Far East Movement delivered an impressive debut album which makes you automatically dance and want to get wasted. So check it out if you like to party! Definitely recommended!
