When final we heard from POW, they had been interpolating the refrain of Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend to middling impact, diluting that tune’s energy with too many overused Ok-pop tropes. Now they’re again with a particular digital single that’s far more of a stripped again affair. If this month was delivering new Ok-pop comebacks with any regularity, I in all probability wouldn’t cowl this tune in any respect. It doesn’t precisely scream “enormous comeback single,” in any case.
As an alternative, Gimme Love is subdued and fairly. The blokes croon over acoustic guitar, sounding as in the event that they may very well be performing within the nook of a espresso store. It’s a pleasant counterpoint to their extra bombastic materials and showcases their vocals effectively, however with none private connection to the group the tune is solely nice. It might make a pleasant late-album b-side.
