MARCO FOSTER, “Never Be Like You”
In an interesting change of pace, an EDM song gradually turning into a left-of-centre pop hit gets an acoustic remake, courtesy of 22 year-old NYCer Marco Foster. Yup, this is the same Marco that I wrote about back in 2012 when he had just climbed aboard Flo Rida’s bus. And while he’s been keeping busy with Flo, timing is indeed everything: Marco’s take on Flume & Kai’s “Never Be Like You” immediately brings to mind “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber in both vibe and appeal. I suppose when the first song you think of is a huge worldwide #1 then that has to be a good thing. While the cover has gritty values in acoustic format, Marco’s voice has gotten smoother and soulful, too… the kind that heartbreakers are made of… more good things are coming, I think!
