His latest 'colours' song is a total rip of Visage's 'fade to grey'

Bollocks is it!

Get yer ears waxed!

There’s the dirty booty electro of ‘'Vegas'’, the growling LCD Soundsystem low-end of ‘'Merrymaking In My Place'’ and ‘'Colours'’, which steals from Visage’s ‘Fade To Grey’ on its chorus motif.

These tunes aside, Colours is one of the better offerings on the album but if it wasn't for the cheeky lift of a musical hook from Visage's Fade to Grey it would be fairly unmemorable.

I wouldn't call it a rip-off, the two tunes have a totally different feel. So what if it borrowed a sample, there aren't enough chords for every song ever written to be totally original.

Anyway I think they are both a bit crap
