Bigger Than War - Boy George
from the album This Is What I Do (2013)
It begins with the low-volume click of a simple beat and evolves into a full drum roll. It is followed by vocals and electric keys. The vocals are crisp and clear, with a rich texture and confident delivery. Enter backing vocalists and muscular horns that add big soul to the R&B vibe. All the while, the band is inching towards that sweet celebration. The crescendo arrives with the chorus:
Bigger than you
Bigger than me
Love is bigger than war
The melody line created by the vocals and horns is stellar. The horn add punch. The background singers throw a little church to the mix. The result is irresistible. Downshift to the verse, and the lead vocal stylings become reminiscent of Michael Hutchence-era INXS. The longer this song goes on, the deeper I lose myself in the groove.
This is the new Boy George song. I really dig it. It is modern and on-point, while still having a retro club goodness that makes me smile. Check it out. I hope it reminds you that beneath the braids, hat, and make-up lived an incredible singer who captivated the western world with his music. Thirty years later, that talent thrives.
Way to go, Boy George, I tip my hat to you.
