You
either love them or you hate them. That’s how it seems to go, at least in a lot
of peoples’ opinions The Vamps are simply regarded as another ‘boy band’, apparently with a degenerative music taste and
style, or as other people would have it: no talent at all. You can say what you
like about this band, but a lack of talent is not one of them, unless you’re
prepared to be countered. The Vamps, like many artists to hit the charts, have
a sound that is instantly recognisable.
Expressive and uplifting, Oh Cecilia is without a doubt a perfect song bound to surpass the top 10, even hitting the top 3. It’s energetic and just as with all of The Vamps songs, can either put you into a state of repose or a frenzy of euphoria and the latter is most often the case. It’s all good explaining how the lyrical nature of the song makes it pleasurable to listen to but as a concern, plagiarism takes place where we find that the chorus has been taken from the song Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel. It’s seems obvious that management must have paid off the rights to use part of such a big song however the question still remains, did they have the right to put in half of their own work leaving the remainder of the song written by others who may have been considered harder working than these 4 guys? I’m not going to discredit The Vamps because the song is still effortless and beautifully constructed. Yet whether we can call it purely an act of their own creativity and intuitiveness we have yet to decide. Available for pre-order now, Oh Cecilia is due for release 12th October, available on iTunes here.
