I'm way more pleased with this song than with Legendary. The song is high energy, has a driving rhythm, the lyrics are real and the the chord progressions are cool too. The sound is a bit modernish and lacks a bit of organic feel but it's ok. Lots of vocal layers indeed but still ok. During my first listen, I heard the talkbox come in and I was thinking ... wouldn't it be cool if after this short talkbox solo, Richie would dive into a real solo with a lead guitar that cuts through the mix and takes the song to the next level. Unfortunately, that didn't come and so... the solo is really the weak point of the song. But, nevertheless: RS vs BJ in terms of released songs in 2024: Sambo wins.
