The keen reader might already be familiar with Tainted Youth, London-based duo with a knack for solemn, cinematic and big-room electronic pop. Getting us used to kaleidoscopic and poignant jewels such as ‘Better off Apart’, the young newcomers also share a certain rock and guitar-based proficiency, enhancing their sound with strong eclecticism. Now, Tainted Youth returns with their first offering of the year, a stunning and evocative cover version of a track we all deeply love. ‘Numb’ by Linkin Park is interpreted with the duo’s creative flair and dark aura, resulting in a haunting, electrifying and modern gem.
Moody electronic beats and ethereal vocals add a new dimension to the already emotional lyrics. The pair’s expert production and sound design fits the lyrical message perfectly, giving the track a fresher and innovative spin, adapting what’s an already compelling song to modern charts. Tainted Youth’s take on ‘Numb’ showcases their dynamism and ability to adapt – an important sign of their powerful musicianship.
We don’t say it lightly, but this is a must-listen for fans of electronic and dark-pop, as well as those who appreciate heartfelt and meaningful lyrics. Give it a listen – you won’t regret it.
