Tune Overview: POW – Gimme Love


When final we heard from POW, they had been interpolating the refrain of Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend to middling impact, diluting that tune’s energy with too many overused Okay-pop tropes. Now they’re again with a particular digital single that’s rather more of a stripped again affair. If this month was delivering new Okay-pop comebacks with any regularity, I in all probability wouldn’t cowl this tune in any respect. It doesn’t precisely scream “enormous comeback single,” in any case.

As a substitute, Gimme Love is subdued and fairly. The fellows croon over acoustic guitar, sounding as in the event that they could possibly be performing within the nook of a espresso store. It’s a pleasant counterpoint to their extra bombastic materials and showcases their vocals effectively, however with none private connection to the group the tune is just nice. It might make a pleasant late-album b-side.
