Nico & Vinz – In Your Arms

“It’s pleasant, it might pop its head into the top 40, but I can’t see this being a Big Tune.”

Tim: I was entirely wrong when I predicted Am I Wrong wouldn’t be a hit in the UK, what with it ending up being one of the biggest tracks of the summer.

Tom: Heavens, I was actually right about that. I still think chart predictions are basically a lottery, though.

Tim: Probably, yes. But here’s their follow-up, actually a re-release of a track from four years ago, because they reckon it’s good.

Tim: Despite my previous failure, and your point that it’s a lottery, I will happily make another prediction: this will have no trouble at all being a hit.

Tom: And again, I’m going to disagree with you: it’s pleasant, it might pop its head into the top 40, but I can’t see this being a Big Tune.

Tim: It’s a great track, even if it does feel broken a bit by the second part of the middle eight. It’s a lovely part, especially if you’re watching the video.

Tom: The video’s just as pretentious and credit-filled, I see.

Tim: Well, it’s a bit of fun. It does at least show they put some effort into this release rather than just “shall we put that one out again?” “yeah”; that middle eight does create a fairly heavy disjoint in the track, though. Unless it’s just one of those bits they stick in a music video that isn’t in the main track, in which case: all great, no problems at all.
