[Review] Joe Uzzo – We Can’t Be Friends “doused in just a little touch of absolutely everything”
Joe Uzzo’s unique style of pop music has a brilliantly upbeat energy to it enhanced by a focused level of songwriting that is forever in keeping with his individuality. The instrumental nature of the music has that undeniable Joe Uzzo sound about it in itself, but on top of this the artist’s voice has an undeniably familiar and characterful tone that enhances the identity and flair of the whole thing.
The concept of this particular song is one that it is easy to remember and most probably comes as a familiar and easy to relate to idea for most listeners. The main take away from the song is the energy of it and the artist’s clever use of the voice and various vocal snippets to provide an almost a capella backdrop on occasion. The song is the perfect choice for pop fans looking to improve their mood in the height of the summer or at the start of a holiday. The lyrics are also something that many listeners will connect with though, and the hook of this particular song has a greatly appropriate level of power for the message it conveys.
Joe Uzzo’s creativity is all at once free from influence and doused in just a little touch of absolutely everything. His meeting of rap and melody enhances that personality further, and so everything about this latest release showcases an artist who knows himself well and knows what drives him and what he wants his music to sound like. The energy is the main thing and this bubbly, likeable presentation is everything that’s needed to lift spirits or escape from personal difficulty for a while. This is an alternative take on pop music and so the music is interesting and memorable, and that’s a great combination.
