Holy crap is “ River of Love” cheesy. I mean, it’s called River of Love, seriously, by the group United State of Electronica – a band that self identifies as “disco pop.” Completely, unabashedly, poppy and over the top – the little snare hit, the snappy guitar riffs, and of course the alternately auto-tune-crooning and soaring-coed-chorus vocals.
From the first twenty seconds of this song you know exactly what the next three and a half minutes are going to sound like, the lyrics are the same old same old talk about love and girls and boys and yadda yadda… So why can’t I stop listening to it?!
This song is like a bag of mothafuckin’ Skittles — bright, sweet, unsophisticated, you were supposed to outgrow that sweet tooth years ago — but damn if you don’t want just one more taste. Keep this one on stand-by for 3 am makeouts in the summertime.
U.S.E’s Loveworld is out now via Rebel Group. Buy the album at Insound or at Amazon.

did you mean Cheesy? Chessy is certainly not a word… unless u were trying to say the song is very chess-like…
LOL. like whoa
is it just me or is this song dirty? a river of love?!
Hey, anyone have the album? Anyone have any thoughts on the album?
@Jolson,
Just imagine 10 more songs of pure jolly rancherism. So good. And their live show? One of the best I’ve seen. Yes, cheese-like, but who doesnt like a good slice of Havarti?
