British India - I Can Make You Love Me (Song Review)

I Can Make You Love Me the new single from indie rock group British India, based in Melbourne they have been around since 2004  with a modest supporter base. I must admit they have never been a band I have loved rather the opposite with their unoriginal and draining tracks, running low on music I stumble across this new single. This is in preparation for their fourth studio album yet to be named.


This song starts with a slow and very deep clean guitar riff which dominates about the first half of this song along with vocals, although not bad it doesn't entice an audience to keep listening or leave you on the edge of your seat. The basis of the song is a very generic on for songs, a person leaving the one they love and moving on to a new life due to some other person being in the way. But it is the second half this song which made me wonder what they wasted 2 minutes of production time on. With a much more upbeat/catchy drum beat accompanied by a great heavy grunge and distorted guitar riff, this brings life to this track. It lifts what a terribly generic song to something that is something else, if only they could produce 4 minute track of this quality. The breakdown of this song brings emotion and makes me forget they boring and most overused story line for a song. It seems to be what is holding back a band that could be a great Australian act, the ability and concentration to make a song which every second of it is as important as the last one and is as exciting to listen to.

I'm glad I didn't turn this song off after 2 minutes and continued to listen to it. It gives me hope that this album could be the one that turns the popularity of this band up and could make them a household name in Australia. Overall a decent single in anticipation for their 4th album


If you get a chance, check out the video clip for this song very bizarre and disturbing

I Can Make You Love Me is available everywhere now.
