For those of you that don’t know who Marcus is, he was the runner up in the 2011 UK X-Factor competition, missing out to Little Mix. Now he’s releasing his debut single, a cover of the White Stripes Seven Nation Army
With it’s distinctive bass line, we can’t help feel that if the song had been kept at the same genre, we might like it a little bit more. Sadly, we’re not impressed with this first offering. First rule of doing a cover; do it justice! There’s just too many instruments, feels as if the song doesn’t fit his voice and that he is just trying too hard. We’re thinking if the single b-side (and now we see it’s apparently appearing on the album as the last track) Break These Chains would grab more attention than this (and that’s just basing it on a 1 minute clip!)
Rather worryingly, his album is out shortly but is this rushed album a mistake? Only time will tell…..
Rating: 2/5
