With a name like �Chew Lips� this band is likely to get some attention, maybe for the wrong reasons. What kind of a name is �Chew Lips�?!?! Really? Anybody? No?

Aside from the unfortunate name, I still don�t like the song. It�s not brilliant but it certainly has some �unique� qualities. The into was slightly misleading as I thought it was going to be an electro-pop song and to some extent it was, but not really. Most of the music seemed to be synthesized and I can hear some auto-tuning going on which doesn�t particularly add anything special.

The lyrics weren�t my cup of tea either; some of it was just a bit cringe-worthy if I�m honest. �Sooner or later I�ll get you undressed, and see all of the scars you bear� 50 Shades of Grey much?

In all honesty it�s just not a very good song, it was the name that sent it into a downward spiral! If you like rubbishy pop wannabe songs then go ahead and enjoy but I think you�ll find yourself in the minority there!
