When In Rome – Human Nature

Fantastically catchy: When In Rome deliver the perfect electro pop style

With “Human Nature”, the English synth-pop icons When In Rome are finally back, and the song gives me some really strong Pet Shop Boys vibes. It’s rare for me to like a song straight away, but that’s the case here. The intro alone is juicy and crisp. The whole elec­tro-pop style and the fant­ast­ic catchi­ness had me hooked straight away.

A real high­light is the bridge at 2:34: to me, it sounds like clas­sic Pet Shop Boys, as if Chris Lowe had laid down the vocals here with addi­tion­al elec­tron­ic voices. The back­ing sing­ers also give the song a really nice-sound­ing 80s vibe, which har­mon­ises bril­liantly with the dance­able energy.

I’m already look­ing for­ward to the announced album *Illumination*. If the whole album is based on this qual­ity and sound, a review might well be in order.
