    In the end, Electronic Earth comes off more as a greatest hits collection than an album proper but that's no bad thing.

    This debut from Tinie Tempah producer Labrinth sits comfortably in the Kanye West school of autotuned mid-youth crisis, yet this album isn't without merit.

    Labrinth avoids the most obvious pitfall--he can actually sing--but writing words seems to flummox him.

    Ultimately, however, despite the fizzing electronic undercarriage applied to most tracks on Electronic Earth, Labrinth's real forte may turn out to be the more traditional, earthbound musical skills.

The stand out song was definitely 'Climb on Board'.… Expand

    Labrinth on the "Electronic Earth" - which it is his debut album - certainly wanted to surprise the audience with diversity. And what is true - through songs such as "Earthquake", "Let The Sun Shine" or the slightly better "Last Time" can be seen artist's inspirationof dubstep, D'n'B or synth pop - but nevertheless it often seems that the only what saves most of the tracks is R&B vocal.… Expand
