It’s Karma It’s Cool: A Gentle Reminder. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In the days when pop singles were a physical moment of beauty, a piece of substantial art that was coveted for its warmth and presence, as well as the hopeful indomitable style of the cover which was a reflection or a symbol of the disc’s lyrics and meaning, It’s Karma It’s Cool’s latest offering would have been one that would have no doubt been prized by many as a depiction of its genre, and one in which its creators would have had their name plastered across such publications that promoted the artists in gloss colour pictures and revered tones.

One way to ensure that the dystopian future of policing never happens is to ensure we find ways to ridicule it, that we mock it with intelligence, that we pour scorn on every circuit, and ask the those with the means to sow the seeds of derision, the artists with keen eye and sharp observation skills, to portray the need for AI in certain walks of responsible life to be curtailed.
