"The Game", Dublex Inc.'s second single release from their new album "Phoenix" is a typical "torch song". Unheard of? The term is a deviation of the saying "to hold a torch for someone". In this case it's singer and trombonist Ashley Slater who's carrying the ever burning torch. He created the band Freak Power together with Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, which wrote chart history back in the 1990s with their hit "Turn In, Turn Out, Cop Out". His trombone lends the song its distinct Dub feel and mood, which the legendary Specials couldn't have gotten done better. But Ashley also penned the lyrics and performed them. "The Game" is about someone who's been abandoned and who is slowly losing his grip onthings. "The Game" is lyrically stringing up perfectly with songs like Billie Holiday´s "Lover Come Back To Me", a by all means fitting alternative title, had those lines not already been used.
