You're The Reason - Johnny Tillotson

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Basshunter, Jonas Erik Altberg is a Swedish DJ has recently made a presence in the UK after releasing a number of songs from his UK debut album Now YOu're Gone and is extremely popular with the younger generation and those like myself that wanted to listen to something that took them back to their younger clubbing days. I was curious to listen to this album, although I am probably a little too old now for this kind of music, years ago I quite liked the tracks from Ultrabeat, although they do become extremely annoying and the lyrics are rather dire, in comparison to Ultrabeat I thought Basshunter were going to be along the same lines.

Please see track breakdown below.
