Description: Relax with your spirit board, your cup of tea and the glam rock strains of the new Indelicates single in this specially constructed VR listening booth. Reports of poltergeist activity are unconfirmed and likely to be highly exaggerated.

Why just sell music when you can bundle a suitable place to listen to the music in with it? This is not a 360 video, but a real-time environment that reimagines the pop single as a fully immersive experience. It’s 1976, Thursday, there’s sleazy glitter rock on the telly and something sinister in the walls…

Review: Are you a child of the late 60’s, early 70’s? If you are you might well love this app. Something Wrong With The TV: A VR Pop Single is just what it sounds like. Its a pop music video (or thought it is more glam rock than pop) and the idea is you listen to the spooky glam rock music and watch the very cringy music video playing on the TV. But this is VR and all around you spooky things are happening. From flying Ouija boards to spooky things coming out of the walls. I’m not really sure why they needed you to use a controller as there really isn;t anything to do other than sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds.

It’s no secret how much of a fan I am of VR music videos. While the glam rock style beats and spooky music set the tone of the experience making it more immersive what I am not a fan of is having an image of a convicted paedophile being thrown at me then having to sit next to it! For heaven’s sake and for the sake of all his victims, change the image FFS and have a little thought of what it might do if someone was a victim and tried this app! I get the style and the lyrics, heck I was also a glam rock kid, but there was no need for it. I can only suggest no-one even thinks of buying this app until that issue is updated.
