When final we heard from POW, they have been interpolating the refrain of Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend to middling impact, diluting that track’s energy with too many overused Ok-pop tropes. Now they’re again with a particular digital single that’s rather more of a stripped again affair. If this month was delivering new Ok-pop comebacks with any regularity, I most likely wouldn’t cowl this track in any respect. It doesn’t precisely scream “big comeback single,” in spite of everything.
As a substitute, Gimme Love is subdued and fairly. The fellows croon over acoustic guitar, sounding as in the event that they might be performing within the nook of a espresso store. It’s a pleasant counterpoint to their extra bombastic materials and showcases their vocals nicely, however with none private connection to the group the track is just nice. It might make a pleasant late-album b-side.
