![]() keeps the upbeat tune and melancholy lines that made Vampire Weekend’s version so lovable in the first place. The former comparison is most obvious on the track “The Kids.” This funkier rehashing of the Vampire Weekend song “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance” trades in the baroque arpeggios and sweeping strings of the original for a less pretentious bare-bones bassline and electric guitar accompaniment.

In the world of up-and-coming rappers, B.o.B. ![]() Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray isn’t as fresh as fans would hope. The track shows a lot of promise - so it’s a pity that, as radio-ready as it is, B.o.B. B.o.B.’s melodic accolades to a long-term girl who easily beats the plastic beauties of touring life pleasantly slide over spurting synths.
