Review: Clean Bandit - Mozart's House
Surely, everyone's heard of Mozart? The famous composer of classical music from like the 1700s? Anyway, my first impression from when I heard the title Mozart's House by Clean Bandit at the last Sprout Editorial Group meeting was, "This must be a song by Mozart but with a twist to it."
I was wrong.
The only mention to Mozart in this song was his name that was said once in the chorus, which I thought was a bit stupid considering the song title.
However, I really liked the beat to it and the way that they used the violins to give a really nice contemporary sound. It is a mix between electronic, house and contemporary pop music.
In addition to this review, I thought I would search the music video to this song on YouTube. To be honest, I felt like I was watching Gangnam Style gone wrong. I just could not understand it.
To me, this song is like Marmite. You either love it or you hate it.
I would give this song three-and-a-half stars out of five.

This is the most uneducated review of a song I have ever heard.
"Surely everyone has heard of Motzart?" - em no, clearly you haven't, he didn't write songs, he developed compositions, pieces of music that would hardly fit under todays standards of the typical 3:25-ish splurge of crap you would hear on radio1.
And the only mention of Motzart was his name? Sohis string quartet (no. 21) playing int he background has nothing, at all , to do with him? Riiiiiight.
The only thing you got right was that it was a song by Motzart with a twist, it was samples of one of his quartets, mixed with the genre house music. hence the title, MOTZARTS HOUSE O____O
And as for the video, Gangnam Style has NOTHING on this, their use of stop motion and time lapse through out to mirror the lyrics "we use special tricks with computers" & "I don't know, skip a beat" by creating the illusion of a skipping image, is fantastic.
Also the way its cut to the beat is nothing but skilful, and the contrast at the end of Jack being covered in a darker liquid & Ssegawa covered in milk? did you even research it?
Have to do a style analysis on this video, cheers for getting my fires burning enough get it done in a matter of minutes.
