Watermät, Becky Hill & TAI – All My Love

“It ticks all the boxes required of a track like this.”

Tim: It is SUMMER, Tom. SUMMER.

Tom: I’ll avoid the cliché British complaining.

Tim: Watermät is a French DJ, Becky Hill was a semi-finalist on The Voice UK (first contestant to score a number 1, as it happens) —

Tom: Wait, anyone scored a Number 1 after being on The Voice?

Tim: Well, a semi-finalist did – no winners have made it yet. TAI, meanwhile is an English/German DJ; nice bit of variety for you, so what do you think of the emergent product?

Tom: It ticks all the boxes required of a track like this, but I can’t say there’s much beyond that.

Tim: I was quite surprised, given the intro, how far back that initial summery/beachy vibe was pushed – this starts out as something unusual, straight out to beach clubbers, then ditches that entirely becoming becoming a fairly standard house track.

Tom: And only 2:40 for the radio edit, which is about all I think I could take of it before wanting it to get crossfaded into something else. You’re right: it’s fairly standard.

Tim: Not necessarily a bad thing, as it’s a very good standard house track, but I can’t help thinking that if it hadn’t had that initial intro I wouldn’t have bothered sticking with it. Quite glad I did stick with it, though, but I wouldn’t have minded more of that intro style.
