Timothy London feat Simba - Flight 210

There's probably a genre tag out there somewhere which describes this. “Narrative soft rap” perhaps, though that sounds more like a vegan lunch than music. Timothy London's smooth, Wyclef Jean-esque choruses are accompanied by the sweet, female vocals of Simba, yet the overall sound is immensely cliched. Then we have to contend with the verses. Largely spoken – unconvincingly – from the perspective of a pilot in charge of a stricken jumbo jet, the best word to describe it is naff. It's simply a bad idea and Mr London would have been better off relating the story in his own velveteen tones. [Austin Tasseltine]
