FEM link up w OneRepublic dude Ryan Tedder for this follow-up to the their breakthrough Like a G6 #1. For what the song lacks in lyrical imagery, it makes up for on Tedder’s sick chorus hook. There’s sort of a breed of these anthemic chorus/compressed beat rap verse tunes hammering at the charts right now. Think Nothing on You, Love the Way You Lie, Airplanes, etc. Is Rocketeer the best of breed? Prob not. But it is a really solid ’10 pop song and a servicable follow-up for a band that may struggle to stay relevant after Like a G6 has slid from the charts.
Far East Movement – Rocketeer (Feat. Ryan Tedder)rating: 8.1
