Tim: This here from Maria, who is off Sweden —
Tom: I’m really not sure that’s how you say it.
Tim: — is 200 seconds of synthy excellence, so I hope you’re ready.
Tim: And there you go – a whole lot of just plain superb components.
Tom: She sounds like Rihanna in the verses. In terms of vocal quality, I mean; it’s rare for an artist to have someone else’s “recognisable” voice.
Tim: A strong voice, a great synth backing, and a chorus that verges on being outright brilliant, with those high pitched vocals.
Tom: Mm. I don’t feel it myself: it constantly feels like it’s waiting to kick in, and then it never does. The chorus never goes big enough. And then there’s that middle eight.
Tim: I even don’t find the rapping bit off-putting, actually, which says a lot about the track because it takes a lot to make that happen. That final chorus, though – yep, that’s everything a track needs. Fantastic.
