Helena Paparizou – Fiesta

Tim: Lest you forget, Helena’s half-Greek, and so it’s only natural that that side might come out upon creating a Mediterranean-flavoured summer beach track. Like this one, for example (which, before you ask, is not about a three-door hatchback).

Tim: Unlike yesterday, I don’t need to worry about speaking the language because she’s recorded an English version as well; also unlike yesterday, the music and the lyrics complement each other perfectly, with chorus lines like “my heart’s about to explode…we are two bodies in fiesta mode”.

Tom: Okay, that’s the worst Transformers power up I’ve ever heard of. Fiesta mode? Really?

Tim: Basically: get out on the beach/expansive patio, cocktails in your hands and bikinis and swimming shorts on, and probably off again later if we’re being honest.

Tom: We’ve heard this all before, so many times. And yes, we’ve heard better, although this is probably in at least the top… half?

Tim: It’s not a remotely original vibe, as a good dozen of these can be guaranteed to appear every summer; right now, though, sitting on my balcony, with the sun staring down at me, in the knowledge that I’ve a couple of weeks off work soon, I’ll absolutely take this exactly as it is.
