Benjamin feat. Sweet California – Man On The Moon

“This is how you do a summer song.”

Tim: Take one Finnish singer, add one Swedish Spanish girlband, start with some acoustic guitars and happy lyrics, place in a recording studio for four minutes and it turns out you’ll find yourself a decent pop song. Add in a couple of beachballs, a swimming pool and a few hot models, you might even find a video as well.

Tom: And this is how you do a summer song. My one complaint is those “i-i-i-i-i” bits. There’s nothing particularly astonishing in here, but it’s a nice enough track.

Tim: Isn’t it just? Mind you, I say happy lyrics, they could in theory almost be written by the old guy from last year’s John Lewis advert, but let’s pretend that watching someone constantly from a long way away isn’t creepy – after all, the girls involved clearly have no problem with it – and I can get on board.

Tom: That’s fair. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Tim: Upbeat music, generally fun and pleasant vibe, fairly good summery third track from an album stuff, really. No complaints from me.
