Amazing Aiden Satisfies ...

Posted on the 30 October 2013 by Tlb Music Blog @TLB_Blog
The last few reviews that have been aimed at Aiden Grimshaw have all included words of praise and, whilst we're not completely sure why he has undergone such a change, his new single has managed to impress us and, for the first time, we feel that we've found someone who would suit supporting our favourite, VV Brown.
Satisfy Me is a much more aggressive approach to music than what we've heard before from Aiden, though, with a new project, comes somewhat of a new identity and, under the alias of simply "Aiden", we manage to feel like he has gone the right way about this.
Names like UnkleJam and David Jordan spring to mind throughout this, although, this is much more in the way we would approach the aesthetic, rather than the music or, especially, the vocals which conceal this artist.
The likes of Dimitri Tikovoi produced this track and, considering that he has previously worked for big names such as Placebo, The Horrors, and Goldfrapp ... it's no wonder that this sound comes out so dark, but so powerful. This is likely to be one of his most radio-friendly hits and, whilst it is yet to take off, we wouldn't be shocked if this were to begin a whole new chapter for him too.
The whole setup, as it were, is a little more camp and abnormal than what we knew of Aiden before, however, this is very much the way that music is going and, therefore, it would be ridiculous of us not to accept it as it comes and, for that reason, we simply hear the music and have been honest in our opinions.
The rapping, which is provided by Thaddaeus Tribbett, comes along quite aggressively too. It's like he is trying to master the same art that Busta Rhymes has been able to in recent years and, with that in mind, we think he does a pretty good job of providing the bridge.
This, simply put, is quite an excellent track and one that provides more than enough satisfaction to sanction a necessity for more of Aiden.
