Another part of my electro-binge: innerpartysystem. "Don't Stop" takes a more straightforward approach to electronic music than either Sally Shapiro or Sam Sparro, taking standard rock elements to fill out their sound rather than Italian disco or smooth soul. I'm a big fan of upbeat music and innerpartysystem delivers, only letting off the heavy beat for a slow-building bridge that leads into a final chorus and glitchy finale. The track is solid from start to finish with the sole exception of the first few measures of the chorus. Until the huge synthesizers come in to back the vocals up, the chorus lacks the punch the rest of the song has and feels empty. And lyrics exploring the darker side of fame is always welcome.
