The Wanted: 'Warzone' - Single review

"Last year I hated anything to do with dubstep," The Wanted's Jay McGuiness recently told us, before going on to explain that he is now a big fan of the genre following its resurgence in 2011. So it comes as no surprise that the boyband have tried their hand at a bit of reverb for their latest single, which was written by their very own Max George and Tom Parker.

"Try to erase a memory with a flame/ And hope I never see you again," Jay declares over a lilting piano and rumbling bass that you'd expect from a Jamie Cullum vs. Nero play-off. Thankfully, the curious combo works beautifully beneath their angst-driven lyrics of betrayal and heartbreak, striking a fine balance between boyband balladry and oh-so-trendy dub beats. With Jay now on board with their current sound, we'd suggest he makes sure his heartbroken bandmates are holding up at this difficult time.
