![]() But there’s definitely a “This Love” vibe at work here.Īpparently, this song intentionally interpolates the Rob Thomas solo single “Lonely No More,” which came out nearly 10 years ago. (The gorgeous model-filled video adds to the effect.) I just assumed “Me and My Broken Heart” was Maroon 5 the first few times I heard it, until I listened closely enough to realize the lead vocals lacked the distinct timbre of what Tess Lynch once called Adam Levine’s “naturally Auto-Tuned” voice. So if this gives you the “Jagger” willies, that is why. Ammar Malik and Benny Blanco, who are credited on “Me and My Broken Heart,” also cowrote “Moves Like Jagger” with Adam Levine. Who the hell are Rixton, anyway? Not to be confused with Brooklyn DJ Rizzla or English hip-hop duo the Rizzle Kicks, they’re four British lads Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, aims to make into the next One Direction, but with real live instruments and stuff.

The song is big, powerful and delivered with soul, however it does all feel a little too familiar with other artists currently riding over the airwaves. ![]() They have in some ways managed to deliver with their vision of their sound. Me And My Broken Heart is a good debut effort from the Manchester based lads, and showcases the bands ability to write for the mainstream audience. The song plays out rather repetitively in current pop fashion and is at times rather forgetful.
