In case the name 2Play (real name Wesley Johnson) doesn’t ring a bell, he is a successful record producer, has enjoyed top ten success in the UK with two hits (‘So Confused’ in 2003 followed by ‘It Can’t Be Right’ in 2004) and has even been the recipient of a MOBO award. However, he is perhaps, rather tragically, best known for his involvement in an ill-advised cover and RnB remix of George Michael classic “Careless Whisper” back in 2005.Now, five years later, he is back with new single “That’s What The Girls Like.” ‘What has he been DOING for five years?!’ I hear you cry. Well, apart from a less than successful single in 2007 ‘Close To You’, he has been pursuing an altogether different dream of Cage Fighting, chasing after the cage fighting championship. He has now taken a step out of the ring in order to revive his musical career once again.
The single itself is harmless; mildly catchy but a bit bland, certainly repetitive and even sounding a little outdated. 2Play has teamed up with old mates Maxi Priest, Juxci D and Moni for the track, who have all been involved with his previous projects. His mix of RnB beats, smooth vocals and reggae undertones will make this tune a sure-fire bump n grind hit on certain dance floors but will more than likely struggle to make much of an impact on the UK chart
