Mark Ronson feat. Kyle Falconer & Spank Rock - The Bike Song
You wouldn't usually place Amy Winehouse producing artist Mark Ronson to produce a collaboration with Kyle Falconer, lead singer of the genius yet sometimes troubling band The View, and use the song as the single to precede upcoming third album 'Record Collection', but that's exactly what has risen from sessions involving the pair. After meeting, Ronson appeared to develop a fondness for Falconer's vocals and both agreed to record together. The result is a perfect summer song, the kind of song you can picture yourself lying down too in a park, completely relaxed and without a care. The song itself carries a warmth too it, with the simple opening chimes and light rapping it transforms into a soaring vocal from Falconer, resting against the backing tune effortlessly. The lyrics suggest a young adult having trouble growing up, with the lyrics, 'Every bodies growing up, having kids and paying rent' before exclaiming, 'I just wanna ride my bike until I get home'. It's a song that tells a tale of being carefree, almost lazy and the simple melody fits the lyric. The song is involved in a somewhat unnecessary turn of events, when a sudden rap appears amongst bicycle bells chiming, which interrupts the flow. It almost seems that the rapper (Spank Rock) is fighting against Falconer for the vocals, which he reclaims with endeavour moments later. Stripped bare, it is a very good song which maybe should've been released a month earlier, but Ronson for all his obvious experience and talent needs to know when to rein in the special effects, and just leave a very good song as a very good song, nothing more than that.
Released 19th September 2010 in the UK.
-31st August 2010.
