Ok, just a tip: probably not the best idea to recruit a voice inseparably bound to the nineties if you want to make a relevant and contemporary dance record. This probably explains why Rick Witter has yet to be called upon by…well, anyone. Paul Hartnoll follows up the modest success of single ‘Patchwork Guilt’ from the tail end of 2006 with ‘Please’, around a month before his debut LP ‘The Ideal Condition’ drops. While The Cure have experienced something of a nostalgia driven renaissance in the last few years, Robert Smith’s vocals manage to really age this track before it’s even out (is that possible?). Inoffensive, but flirting with the monotonous and insipid, Hartnoll’s pedestrian electronica fails to inspire and even at a duration of just 4:02 seems to drag. Could do better.
