(AU magazine, November 2009)
One of the great pop humourists, Mr Ben Hudson is back - sans Library - to offer more amusing takes on musical styles. He has enlisted label boss Kanye West to perfect his satirical swipe on humourless hiphop and makes sport of the tired old clichés that blight the charts. From the Hoff-style Europop of 'White Lies' to the 80s synth pap of 'Knew We Were Trouble' to the vocoder-drenched title track, Mr H is an accomplished mimic - even doing an uncanny monotone Akon on 'There Will Be Tears'. It's an hilarious excursion, and one for which he should be lauded. Unless it's not actually a joke...?
