Fortune – Highway EP
Filed under: Album Reviews by LiamNo Comments »
On paper you could already guess what you’re going to get with Fortune. First things first they originate from France, which draws the conclusion that they must be a dance act…correct. Which would then make you think typical cool disco beats laced with electronics, and softly sung lyrics, but at the same time nothing new or progressive….correct again.
That’s exactly what you’re getting with ‘Highway’ it’s sleek, and very presentable, hitting all the minimum requirements it’s expected to fulfil. Look Past that thou ‘Fortune’ are victims of their own genre with other acts who can do the same type of music, only slightly better. These acts will possibly get the fanfare and attention leaving ‘Fortune’ overlooked, and left in the cold.
Three remixes of ‘Highway’ make up the ep, and each one does a decent job of making Highway their own song, but the lack of another track severely damages the lasting impression. An impression that will need to be regained with a full length that will have to conjure up more than just playing by the rules of there selected genre.
