Cleo Alexandra takes the Men at Work classic Who Can It Be Now and add a bit of hard rock, industrial, and gothic flair into the mix. The darkly emotive vocals laid down here by Cleo are matched well through a feature by Rick Springfield. While enough of the spirit of the original is contained in this re-tooling, the Fear Factory meets Linkin Park sequencing spins this off in a bold new direction. Cracking electricity and sizzling guitar work further bolster the effort, ensuring that listeners will be singing Cleo’s lyrics long after the single ceases to play.
