Eric Amarillo – 50kvm

“Is this the way to… oh. No. Sorry.”

Tom: Is this the way to… oh. No. Sorry.

Tim: Yeah, no. Last time he was synth-heavy and somewhat mushed-up (go with it). This time? Well, let’s find out.

Tom: Ooh, I do like that opening. That’s… well, am I being blasphemous if I say that opening is a bit Pet Shop Boys? I mean that as a compliment.

Tim: No, I don’t think so. This song certainly sounds more connected than the previous one – there’s a tune and a melody, and he’s singing with it properly. This is a good thing, and I like that. We see an interesting tactic when he decides not to bother with lyrics or words or anything and just goes with a somewhat generic ‘ha-a-aah-ahh-ah-ahh-uh-uhh-uh’ thingy, which does at least help with the whole language barrier thing.

Tom: It does change up properly for the middle-eight, although the return from it is a bit lacklustre. It seems to have a chorus that’s uplifting in tone, but delivered in a fairly calm way. Perhaps the lyrics could help?

Tim: Well, perhaps they could, but, I’m not entirely sure what this is about. Google helps out a bit, but completely falls down on the choruses, arguably the most important part. Apparently ‘kvm’ means ‘square meters’, but I have no idea if this is too much, or too little, or entirely unconnected to the guy’s feelings. Still, who care? It’s good music, so I’m happy.
