The pop-rock quartet Parachute have released their new album entitled Overnight, a followup to 2011’s The Way It Was. There’s a lot of energy and dance-able hits scattered throughout the record, reminiscent of any Maroon 5 song you might hear on the radio jammed between tunes by Rihanna and Macklemore.
Parachute certainly isn’t breaking any new ground here, but that doesn’t mean that Overnight is a complete fluke. I’d much rather hear any of the album’s songs on the radio over Katy Perry telling me to roar because I’m a California firework. Overnight is probably exactly what Parachute needs in order for them to break out and get noticed, even if it does bear some similarities to a large chunk of other pop-rock albums.
In conclusion, I predict a lot of teenage girls will be putting songs from Overnight onto playlist mixes for their friends as they exchange hair straighteners and oogle their hot American History teacher. I know it’s exactly what I would have done.
