[Single Review]: Cheryl Cole - Call My Name

Cheryl Cole's new single "Call My Name" premiered on (Friday) April 20th and its a hot ass mess. Calvin Harris (who produced Rihanna's smash single "We Found Love") is the one who did this crap. It you put the generic music RedOne has put together mixed with some David Guetta, this will be the result.

The beat is not attention grabbing, then again it did catch my attention, because it sucked so badly. The singing was very bland, weak, and isn't energetic. Hell the vocal effort she put into "Fight For This Love" and "Promise This" are far much better than what she sung here. Cheryl is not the only one who disappointed, Calvin Harris did to. You expect he would produced something with high quality. The one and only good thing about the song it is probably the lyrics, it should've been delivered with more force and confidence. Speaking of confidence, I don't hear any of that in her voice.

Cheryl does not have a strong voice, bottom line. With her releasing music like this, I don't expect her to gain some sort of success, when she crosses over into the American music market. She's not going to be able to compete with the likes of Adele, Katy Perry and whom ever else is dominating the charts a the moment. At least for the American audience, she needs to go back to the drawing board, because I know her and her team can come up with something better.
