Release Notes:
Summer is waning, but fighting back against the
impending winter is Futures, the new single from
Zero 7, or more specifically Zero 7 featuring Jos┌
Gonzalez, who is a regular contributor to their
recent album. His effort is a floating, soft
acoustic-feel song that seems perfect for a lazy
summer afternoon, tinged with an interesting mixture
of melancholic sounding lyrics and upbeat melody.
And I have to say that the only problems I can see
with the song are part and parcel of its major
benefit- it's a perfect summer song. So that, by
definition, means that it's not really a song for
those rainy winter months that we all know are
knocking on the door now (or, for some areas of the
country, are in the process of wiping their feet and
getting properly settled in). That I'm talking about
weather so much also implies the other problem- it
feels as though it lacks real substance. For what is
really a quite short song a good deal of it is taken
up by odd over-production style sounds rather than
music, which takes away from Gonzalez' singing
(although this might be somewhat a moot-point given
that Zero 7 has two producers at its core).
