CARL MAN, “Criminal Love”
After travelling around the world for the better part of the year, I was anxious to hear what would be next for UK singer/dancer Carl Man. For it was last year, that Carl’s voice graced two of my favourite 2014 songs: “Music Gods” by German DJ/producer Davis Redfield and particularly the fairly obscure “Electrify The Night” by Houserockerz with Davis Redfield (refresh your memory below).
“Criminal Love” thank goodness is from the same lyrical genius (that is 2014 Eurovision winner Charlie Mason) as those songs, and Carl’s fine voice is once again in comfortable pop-leaning EDM territory. The video has obvious “Beat It” inspiration and many fine dance moves; alas I think a few different scenarios proved to be a bit much and the results seem a bit choppy, though the story is consistent. Nonetheless Carl’s on-camera presence draws you in, thanks to a fine song. Watch and listen above.
