First saw the emergence of a really poor chorus wasting what could have been a classic song on Magic's 'I'll Work for Your Love'. Great song, great lyrics wasted by a run-of-the-mill chorus that adds absolutely nothing to the song.
On the new album this happens again with 'Queen of the Supermarket' Although the latter verses are nothing to write home about (I felt the first verse was actually ok) the melody is very nice and could have been a great song with the right lyrics. Again, wasted by a very poor chorus.
So what is going on? By writing the music and verses the hard work is done, so why waste it by producing choruses that Billy Joel or Elton John would consider brilliant?
