Well, this is different. FARM have been trying to cultivate various girl idol groups in recent years, but this is the first time they’ve released a boy band album. Quite obviously modeled after One Direction, The United are an international boy band featuring vocalists from all around Europe. What distinguishes them appears to be a more distinct club sound instead of straight pop. FARM have had a good record with EDM, signing the likes of Afrojack and teaming up with Dutch label, Spinnin’ Records, for various digital releases. It’ll be interesting to see if this latest gamble pays off.
You can visit the official website for more info on the boy band. Their debut single is a little sedate, so hopefully their other songs will have a little more energy.
