Tom: So after the excellent Heart is King, what’s he up to next?
Tim: Now that’s a man who takes care when he’s crossing the road. And it’s an unusual off-licence that has a massive iMac purely for CCTV purposes, but never mind. The music.
Tom: Oh. Well, that’s not really as euphoric and spectacular, is it? In my head, it scarcely holds together as a track: it’s a piano loop, some vocals, and barely enough production to make it danceable.
Tim: I don’t know – you’re right, but, from the video, it seems that it’s not trying to be all that. If we’re talking about a guy who can be inspired to go out clubbing after hearing a few piano notes, it’s seems that a fairly quiet beat would suffice.
Tom: All the parts are there, but for me it just doesn’t hang together. Where other tracks have elicited all sorts of emotional reactions from me, this one just left me cold. That final chorus isn’t bad, I suppose, but I’d be waiting for the next track if this played on the dancefloor.
Tim: Yeah – artistically it may be justified, but it’s not hugely likely to do it for the masses unless you’re just relying on the name thing. Nice enough to listen to, though, for me anyway.
