Why You Wait REVIEW




It's No Regard
The opening title to the Why You Wait EP invades your speakers, TV and car, literally. Harley enters with a list of demands that no one else can fulfill. And it isn't a dream, the takeover is in succession as he gives the world a transformation the autobots can't even prevent. But this epic opening battle sequence is the least bit deceptive, it's an at-ease broadcast letting the world know It's No Regard.

There's Nothing Wrong
Don't bug. Don't glitch. There's nothing wrong with a little spontaneousness. But there really is a message; is anyone out there? No, just Harley on a masquerading solo transmitting a love gone wrong. An airy blend of pianos clashing with drums and hi-hats create this masterpiece. A smooth and sophisticated daydream ruined by a nightmare leaving you with one final question; is there anyone out there? Because I'm looking for a connection, a little love fling.

Zooom
Mel B and Jax of No Regard takeoff on Zooom—sending a blast of calm, melodic refreshment and vernacular rhymes through your eardrums. Spaceships come to a hault as the heart beat gets thrown into hyper-speed. Cause girls just want to have fun, but they love the fast lane and fast paced relationships even more. All Mel B and Jax ask is to slow down, pump your breaks before you chant the L word through the microphone. A song for the lovers caught star gazing. Along with an oath for players that wake up next morning with a ring tied to their finger.

Spaceship
Screw your candy paint on that '65 throwback, 'I'm talkin' about my spaceship.' Synthesized guitars blare as the the Why You Wait EP enters back into the atmosphere with the song, Spaceship. An autotune-riddled track conspiring originality, alienating everything you thought was in this year. Hands down, Harley McCartney's Spaceship is well beyond The Beetle's Yellow Submarine.

Guitar
Harley's heroism with his guitar has your girlfriend loving his star power. Quite the opposite of a Rick Rubin sample, Harley is back at it making everyone else look so ridiculous with this amplified classroom anthem. From the beginning all the way through the lunchroom cipher, Guitar goes well and beyond bragging rights. Harley and Rosewell easily takeover the school faster than Rodney Dangerfield did in the '80s movie, Back to School. But that's 'old and dusted,' Harley is the new topic for discussion after this track.

Locker
Continuing with the School Daze, mind-rattling riffs open the song properly and proceed throughout the entire song as hi-hats and drums keep the melody steady. The smooth operator himself hits you with a set of combinations that leads any girl to their locker, begging for a love note from yours truly, Harley & Rosewell.

So You
The grand finale to the Why You Wait EP can't be justified as the ending. This conclusion is just the beginning of Harley's ability get an entire crowd going; an experiment with many more test subjects to come. From lunchroom tables to homecoming dances, there's a new producer-emcee that's going well and beyond his alumni and brings a new phrase for the entire culture to chant; 'Why you gotta be so you????????????'
