Tim: Petra, you may recall, is what September restyled herself as a few years back when she wanted to go all dull and ballady.
Tom: I didn’t actually recall that, which says something about how successful that restyling was.
Tim: Well, we never actually featured any of the stuff on here because, well, dull and ballady. Now, though we’re back to be a bit more dancey, with “What Happens in Gothenburg (Stays in Gothenburg)”.
Tom: Fairly sure that’s Las Vegas, but okay, let’s hear it.
Tim: And there you go. It is, if you will, a toned-down September track for the 2015-era; much as Can’t Get Over was incredibly enjoyable back in 2008 (and as much as I may still listen to it now occasionally), such is the fickleness of the music industry that it really wouldn’t cut it much now, but this very much does and it sounds pretty good for it.
Tom: Really? It doesn’t do much for me — what do you like about it?
Tim: Decently rowdy chorus, a lovely pre-chorus and verses that do a great job of getting from the former to the latter.
Tom: Ah, then we differ in opinion on the chorus — what you hear as “rowdy” I hear as noise. I suspect that’s personal taste rather than anything to do with the production itself, though.
Tim: Quite probably. When you add in the perfectly serviceable ooh-oohs in the middle eight, I like this – it’s the first from her second album as Petra Marklund, and I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of that.
