Review - Ben Montague - Can't Hold Me Down (Single)

Ben Montague - Can't Hold Me Down (Single)

6 out of 10

Pop Rock doesn't quite fit the A Side of this, the debut single by Ben Montague; Stadium Pop does. This is one of those tracks that follows in the footsteps of Elton John, Asia and to some extent Genesis. It also sounds a lot like the more recent McFly releases. The B-Side is Westlife/TakeThat/Boyzone-a-like soft string backed crawler with Chris Martin style vocals. It's a decent release in all but to be honest it's all a bit predictable, with the big orchestral backing, truck driver's gear changes and overblown singing.

Not a must have. Expect it on a Radio 2 playlist sometime soon.
