Other releases start off sounding great but the novelty wears off over time. I&#8217;d say Nick Ball&#8217;s &#8220;E-Motions&#8221; EP is a bit more towards the latter for me. I still like it, but it was definitely a record which I was REALLY into at first, but which wore off after a few weeks of owning it.  This is especially true of &#8220;We gonna rock&#8221;, which uses the classic Landlord &#8220;I like it&#8221; piano line.  The synth is pretty mad and works well with the piano, the drums are tight.  Everything is going great until it drops into a happy piano part early on&#8230; the same one as in Vibes &#038; Wishdokta &#8211; &#8220;Peakin&#8217; Through My Window&#8221;. This just kills the track momentum in my opinion.  Nonetheless, it&#8217;s a good tune on a good EP, well worth checking out. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/1082740\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/nickball-emotionssmall.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/nick ball-we gonna rock.mp3\">Nick Ball &#8211; We Gonna Rock<\/a><br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-25-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/nick%20ball-we%20gonna%20rock.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/nick%20ball-we%20gonna%20rock.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/nick%20ball-we%20gonna%20rock.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some releases take a while to adjust to, and get better and better with more listens.
