Tim: Recent winner of the Finnish variant of the Idol brand, Idols, she has come out with a proper TUNE. (That’s, like a CHOON, but not quite a full-on dance track. You’ll see what I mean.)
Tom: I agree. That is a TUNE. With a T.
Tim: I started listening to this up to the first chorus, thought, ‘Yeah, it’s okay,’ and swiftly stuck it in a background tab. Thirty seconds later I thought the song was about to finish, so I went back to it, and then realised it was still only in the second chorus. Now, that’s a lot of words for a fairly dull story, but it demonstrates what I’m about to say: this song has HUGE choruses, and I LOVE THEM.
Tom: There’s something about those simple, up and down the scale choruses that just work, isn’t there?
Tim: Simple? Melodically, maybe, but other than that, not a chance – there’s so much to them that calling them simple is just plain rude. It’s not all great: the first part of the middle eight goes on far too long for my liking, and that long note before the closing part is positively yearning to be followed by a key change, but that aside this song’s a right good number.
Tom: The ghost of Tony Blackburn taking you over for a moment, there. He’s right, mind you.
