Evelina Olsén – Dö För Mig

“That’s a lovely poppy thing, isn’t it?”

Tim: Or, to translate it from the Swedish, “Die for me”, with that being preceded in the chorus by a “Would you.”

Tom: I’m going to answer that question right away: no.

Tom: So, that’s a lovely poppy thing, isn’t it? Yes, yes it is.

Tim: Once it kicked in: it’s… it’s not bad. It is lovely, and it’s poppy, and it’s certainly a thing, but I don’t feel all those words can quite go together, if that makes sense.

Tom: I’ve listened to it a good number of times now, and I think the highest compliment I can pay it is that it basically ticks all the necessary boxes to get everybody on their feet at a big pop night in a club – drum beat, strong female singer, very big chorus with vocals that, with a translation if necessary, could be very easily shouted along to.

Tim: Are we listening to the same song? It’s pleasant enough, I suppose, but far too low-key for something like that: it just doesn’t hold my interest.

Tom: Were I a DJ, this would easily be on my standard setlist, so basically LET’S HAVE MORE.
