Jape - I was a Man

Single Review by Liam Arnold | 02 Jun 2008
Single title: I Was A Man
Artist: Jape
Label: V2
Release date: 2 Jun

The lead-off single from Jape’s Ritual is something of a let-down: Jape has crafted a style of electro-rock that lacks both up-beat punchiness and technical subtleties. He also seems to believe that claiming to have “popped my cherry to November Rain” is in some way endearing. The Phones remix is pretty fun though, moving into the kind of rocky dance territory that Daft Punk pull off on a good day.
