Just The Two Of Us

WILL SMITH: “Just The Two Of Us” (Columbia)

Nothing I say will make any difference. This time, it’s the old Bill Withers classic which is on the chopping block. Smith has turned it into a – guess what – offensively inoffensive slice of homogenised soul-pop, the twist being that it now boasts slushy “father pledging his love for his son while warning him about the bumps in the road of life” sentiments. Take it away, Will. Please.
