Lawson, ‘Brokenhearted’ Feat. B.o.B – Song Review
London-based band Lawson teamed up with Atlanta rapper B.o.B for their new single 'Brokenhearted' -- and it's catchy as anything.
In a YouTube video announcing the track as the band's fifth single, lead singer Andy Brown said, "'Brokenhearted' is definitely a bit of a turning point for us as a band. It’s my favorite song we have recorded to date." He added, "It was a dream to get B.o.B on the track. The whole band are huge fans of his. He really took the song to the next level and we had a great time shooting the video with him."
The track is a midtempo pop-rock jam that kisses off a girl who left and came crawling back. Brown sings, "Hey girl look at what you started / Played with love, got you brokenhearted / I thought you were all I wanted / All good since the day we parted / Now tables turned, lessons learned / You got burned."
B.o.B brings some humor with his verse, telling the two-timing lady that he doesn't give "Massachus---s." Burn!
It's a fun summer song reminiscent of Olly Murs with a hint of OneRepublic. It may not be the most distinctive song in the world, but it's going to get stuck in your head.
