#songoftheday / REVIEW: CHAIRLIFT: “CH-CHING”

Chairlift, the duo known as Patrick Wimberly and Caroline Polachek, worked on Beyoncé’s last album,  Polachek writing and co-producing with Wimberly the R&B number, “No Angel.”  So, it should come as no surprise that their new single, “Ch-Ching” falls in the R&B vein.  It’s like a mix between Beyoncé and their usual electropop sound.  Fans who aren’t fond of R&B might not be able to get behind this one, which took a few listens to grow on me, but I like it well enough.  However, I’m hoping that their next album, Moth, due in January on Columbia, is less like this and more like their last album, Something.  I’m all for artists growing, but changing genres entirely when you’re as talented as Chairlift seems a bit silly.
