Handsome Boy Modeling School - The World’s Gone Mad - Single Review

Handsome Boy Modeling School
The World’s Gone Mad

This is the first time I’ve heard these guys and there’s no denying this is serious talent. Handsome Boy Modeling School have got a serious funk groove with this track and a kind of eclectic break beat style we’ve seen come from Bristol. There’s appearances from the talented Barrington Levy laying down some really strong and soulful vocals that provide the catch for the song. Then there’s Del The Funky Homosapien laying down the hip-hop vocals to keep this track

truly progressive in the spirit of trip hop and a surprising vocal appearance from Alex Kapranos, from Franz Ferdinand, to add a subtle bit of cool to this first rate tune. The band is tight, really classy and it all amounts to a really sophisticated enjoyable listen that pretty much anyone could get into and most will appreciate. Class!
