Suited and Booted releases a message that is straightforward and a lot of fun with their first single, "To Be Different." The song is on the album of the same name, and it's our first look at the duo as artists who want to be in the spotlight. They ask listeners to dance, smile, and be themselves, no permission required.
"To Be Different" plays like a quiet rebellion in song and there's a sense of motion embedded in the song, one that makes it easy to imagine by its side on the way to the dance floor, with neither party having demanded anything at all. It's a celebration more than a confrontation, and, for all its surfaces and sounds, it binds itself to joy as a statement in a world that might otherwise pull toward conformity.
Suited and Booted, comprising Terry Albert Bunton and Terry Mark Jones, is a Thanet, Kent–based act that was put together. It's a history that discreetly flavors the track's personality. The song sounds like a gateway into an alternate universe where entertainment is supposed to challenge and engage. Bunton and Jones pass the torch back and forth, reinforcing the project's sense of unity. Their delivery adds to the song's peppy energy while remaining relatable and down-to-earth, despite its message about setting oneself apart. "To be different" is a gateway and an invitation, reminding you that sometimes the bravest thing to do is to decide on your own beat and dance.
