Tim: We started the week off with a strong dance pop track; let’s continue it with an even stronger one, shall we? This one, to be precise, the sophomore single from Rebecka Karlsson, formerly of this year’s Sweden’s Got Talent (well, Talang Sverige). Press play below; you’ll thank yourself almost immediately.
Tom: Crikey, you’re right: that’s a bit good.
Tim: Indeed. It’s a funny thing, that hard to write slow-down noise they’ve put in every now and again there, isn’t it? Not quite sure what purpose it serves, aside from being somewhat distracting when it happens.
Tom: I quite like the effect. And I’m fairly sure I’d write it as “bwooooorp”.
Tim: Yeah, sounds about right. And as for the rest of it? Wow. Written by two of Le Kid, so it was always going to work at least fairly well, and it’s kind of like an ‘I Love It’ with a whole lot of added melody, and with a not dissimilar message – let’s get out there and party, basically.
Tom: It is: I’m not really sure about those lyrics; they name-drop a load of older songs, and that just seems to stand out like a sore thumb. I can’t disagree with your assessment.
Tim: And what a great song to party out to – you can get excited to it, you can shout to it, you can jump to it, you can get off with a stranger to it, anything you want basically.
Tom: Well, that went to an unexpected place.
Tim: It is ENERGETIC, and PUMPING, and EVERY SYNONYM. It’s one that’s going straight on the party playlist, and I’m fairly sure it’ll be a long time before it comes off.
