As you can probably tell, That's Camp by Ardon England would most appeal to LBGTQA+ listeners. This is a six track EP. Though, one track is a radio edit of another. I think that this falls into the more house/bass house category. It's somewhat vocal, although, the vocals are mostly what you get from typical EDM tracks, as opposed to standard pop songs. There's some singing, and some talking.
Leather Daddy - I'm not going to lie, I found this track amusing, specifically the lyrics. "Ooh la la" I thought that it had a good rhythm once it got going. This one had a prominent intro.
Plastic feat. Krisy Erin felt more lyrical than the other tracks. I would say this is heavy on rhyming. It felt like there were two solid verses in this track.
F.E.M. Man - I really like the tune in this, and think it has a good message, "I'm a Fem and IDGAF" (note: I have abbreviated the lyric, it's not abbreviated in the track.)
With Make Them Listen I found the lyrics quite amusing "play the song on the sound system, everybody's here, but nobody's listening." I found the tune to be somewhat variant. I think that I like segments of the track better than others. However music is subjective.
Neon World feat. Keshia - I really like the intro vocal in this, but I'm a sucker for female sounding vocals. The other vocals sound a bit faint, which undoubtedly was what Ardon was going for. This track sounded a bit louder than the others.
The radio edit of the above track didn't keep the intro vocals. I wish it would have, but people may disagree.
I generally liked most of the tunes in this EP, and I found some of the lyrics amusing. I would say that I like the tracks for different reasons. Great job Ardon!
