Twenty One welcomes us with opener “Hideaway”. It starts off with some sirens, as if some houses or buildings are on fire and waiting for the arrival of Firemen. Before long, the bass just comes in with a lazy and draggy sound to it joined by steady drum beats. It has this disco feeling too. Blaine first takes on the vocals until it reaches a part where Mystery Jets just sings together with a lower voice tone, “Undercover lover, took a record off the stack. Undercover lover, left his parka on the rack. Undercover lover, left the tarmac on the track…” After that, they again choir and go, “Hideaway, hideaway….Oh…” Mystery Jets already got me singing and asking for more, really good here…
Mystery Jets next put their magic touches on “Young Love” with the help of singer Laura Marling. It has a distant drum in the beginning and joined shortly by the somewhat catchy bass. On Young Love, i can also hear that Mystery Jets are taking on the vocals together again. They just go on with some really witty lyrics, “If i only knew your name i’d go from door to door, searching all the crowded streets for the face that i once saw, if i only knew your name i’d go from door to door, tell me have you seen the girl i met just once before…” When the chorus comes, they just have fun and with some members of Mystery Jets doing some back up vocals. In the bridge, Young Love just gets onto another level with Laura Marling vocals. It’s one of the best moments on the track. It’s magically fun here, and addictive too. Enjoy! Such a fun song where Mystery Jets can’t help but to sing together!
“Half In Love With Elizabeth” already surprises us with the chorus in the beginning. In the verse where Blaine sings, the bass seems to work very well with him. Not only that, the backing vocals by Mystery Jets also add some extra spices to Blaine’s vocals. In the bridge, Mystery Jets bring back some moments from Making Dens with the backing vocals as Blaine goes, “The Bubble will burst…” I just like how they blend together in the verse, it sounds very catchy there.
“Flakes” slows down the tempo on Twenty One. Flakes showcases Blaine’s vocals most of the times. It seems to drown out the music itself every time Blaine raises his singing tone at every ending paragraph. Getting on to the bridge and break, Mystery Jets get together and harmonize their vocals with some beautiful howlings. Flakes contains some really good vocal pieces by Mystery Jets. I’m slowly falling in love with Flakes on Twenty One.
