Two interesting choices for covers. I was interested and a bit anxious to see how The Araby Bazaar would adopt the Sugababes' About You Now into their style, but amazingly, turning it into an acoustic song actually works quite well! Island of Dreams is another impressive cover, but I definitely think About You Now is the showstealer of this single.
Very interested in this new era for Alkaline Pink. Honestly not a big fan of the vocal effects although I get that they're intentional, so probably not the best person to ask on that front. I do really like the beat though.
Very underwhelming comeback. I mean, it's literally just a boring version of Motorhead's Overkill, with the structure being identical - complete with the fakeout outro being brought back in by the drum riff - the lyrics having the same messaging of "Yeah, we fast as fuck boiiii!!!", and even the fucking drum riff ripped right from Motorhead.

A real chill ambient track. Not really sure how I feel about this as a single. It seems like one that would be better in the context of a full album/EP rather than as a standalone thing. But it's pleasant nonetheless.
Honestly not feeling this one too much. I liked the noise section at the start, and I appreciate the atmospheric interlude in the middle, but the off-beat drums after the noise part and the off-kilter synth at the end aren't really doing as much for me as some of Gel.'s other weirder cuts. Still interested in what the full album will bring, though.
