🇬🇧 BLaKL1st + Lazar 🇬🇧

A Re-imagining of The Specials' Classic Anthem

While "Too Much Too Young" is a cover of The Specials' iconic track, BLaKL1st and Lazar completely reimagine it for a new era. Recorded using a Commodore C64 chip arrangement, this version adds a vintage digital twist to the original's ska energy. The track keeps the rebellious spirit of Jerry Dammers and Terry Hall but flips it on its head for the meme generation. This isn’t just a cover; it’s a collision of 2-Tone energy and digital nostalgia, fused with the pulse of meme culture. Get ready for an infectious, playful rework that speaks to both the past and the present. 🎮💥


YES IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE "DEVO". THAN THE SPECIALS I AM TOTALLY AWARE OF THIS ' WHEN I WAS RECORDING IT ' TE SOUND ENGINEER WAS DANCING ROUND THE ROOM ' EXCLAIMING WE ARE DEVO .

The whole point was to reimagine a song that i love that's all i didnt want to COPY the specials thats already been done ' and thank you to both #THESPECIALS and #DEVO for all the legendary music ' endlessly inspiring new generations.

BlaKl1st + Lazar are 2 cousins of scottish /romanian background 'making music and based in london uk. almost all original music with the rare cover song ' and this is one of these cover songs

I myself am not too keen on this version we recorded better versions truer to the original song ' but Lazar is a computer geek and has a collection of old computers from the 80s and 90s the commodores the sinclair's especially mad about the c64 ' and atari's etc etc. so it's a democracy between us sometimes i'll stand back and let it happen .

out of the 7 versions of this song we recorded maybe 3 are good enough to put up on youtube and elsewhere . the thing that we discovered about this specials song IS ' this song was so much ' of it's time ' its difficult to bend the time prism in which people hear this song . some music is like that you can drag it anywhere but it firmly plants itself where it comes from . it's a difficult thing to explain.

We thought a lot about releasing this' complete rework of the original song 'there are more mixes' we recorded about 12 hours of recording This song in total ' we recorded 7 versions i think ' one or two closer to the specials sound .

If by chance any of the specials or specials fanbase see this ' we are sorry to change some of the lyrics and the actual musical notation completely but we mean well ' we adore this song and could never match the original and thats why we played around with our versions of it . when we tried to cover it straight cover ' it sounded like a cheap imitation so we wanted to try something different .

we used the commodore c64 chip on most of this recording .
