We Started Nothing Immediately


The Ting Tings are a British duo comprised of singer/songwriter Katie White and multi-instrumentalist/producer Jules De Martino. Their debut album, "We Started Nothing" is an album that is unapologetically fun and dance oriented. While the musical arrangements are good and the production is great, it's lacking in other areas- particularly in the area of songwriting. While Katie does a decent job at singing, her songwriting is a little infantile. I find myself listening to songs like "Fruit Machine", "That's Not My Name", and the title track and I try very hard to keep a straight face. Even the album's first single "Great DJ" is a little silly at times. Overall, it's fun and catchy, but I was expecting better songcraft.Get more detail about We Started Nothing.
