The Tears
Robots in Disguise
Review by Zarina Raja
The Tears, Robots in Disguise’s third single from the album We’re In The Music Biz, is an Electro/Pop ballad spinning on the suspicions and paranoias that rear their ugly head in all relationships.
RID have not fallen for making a soppy love song – anything but. Although the melody is slower than the likes of past RID songs, it has an appetizing and delectable, yet threatening, edge. ‘I’ll cut her, I’ll cut her, I’ll F*** her.’
The Tears is a great Pop song, etched with a light Electro vibe, heavily carpeted with lyrics that every girl can relate to.
The single features various versions of The Tears, portraying an elasticity within The Tears which allows it to be remixed into something completely different from the radio edit.
The heretic mix by Tim Burgess of The Charlatans is a brilliant, danceable remix, one that emphasizes the slow urgency in the idea behind the song.
Billion $dj’s funkpanic remix is another great attribute to the single. Fast-paced, manic and slightly crazed, wonderfully representing a disbelieving lover.
