There's Any Justice By Lemar

Apparently this song was rejected as the follow
up to Charles and Eddie's lovely "Would I Lie to You?" but they
decided to go with "24/7" instead and were never seen again afterwards.
Would things have been different if they had released "Is there
Any Justice" instead? No one will ever know the answer to that question,
but it is a fair bet that Charles would have sung some really high
bits at the end, unlike Lemar who can only do one voice, which is
quite low and which he likes to think is "soulful". I say to Lemar,
go and ask Charles and Eddie what the definition of "soul" is.
I think it is a weak song that is good for 6
seconds and then has nothing else in it to keep it interesting.
also apparently it is ripped off from "Walk on By" and a Stevie
Wonder song.

"If there's any justice in the world, I
would be your man, you would be my girl" - well put Lemar.
Bravo. As un-comprehensive and self-centred a view on "world
justice" as this lyric is, the way Lemar delivers it really
does tickle one's fancy. Build an entire song around one little
tuneful ditty, splice it with a generic lyric, and make this the
title of the song and you are on to a winner. Admittedly you spend
the rest of the song waiting for the chorus to come round again,
but when it does you feel great (almost justified).
Buy it: NO
Download it:
YES (for those occassional moments of desperation, and when
only you know what you are listening to)
