Tim: It’s another lyrics video! And this time, they’ve worked so hard that you can’t actually see some of it. Yay.
Tom: Let it go, Tim.
Tim: Oh, fine.
Tim: Tune, though, is good, though to be honest I’m not sure what there is to say about it, because there doesn’t seem to be that much to it. I like the you-oo-oo-oo-ou bits, and can imagine waving my hands around to them, and those occasional big beats that come in serve to give the tune some proper life, whenever it occasionally feels like it’s drying up.
Tom: There is a bit too much “drying up” in there for me, which is strange given how much I enjoyed Leona Lewis’ track yesterday. They’re very similar in tone, and yet this one doesn’t seem to work as well. This just seems less raw, less emotional, less… honest. It’s a generic dance-y track.
Tim: It is. And it’s a lot dancier than the first track off her album was; I’d normally put that as a good thing for me, I’m not so sure here, because it’s not got the same emotional pull. Admittedly, it’s not meant to have, what with it being a completely different type of tune with a different message entirely, but that last one was so definite in wanted it wanted to be (as a song) that this almost seems a bit half-baked.
Tom: Agreed. It’s stuck in some kind of odd between-genres dead-space, and I’m not sure it’s a good spot for it to be.
Tim: I almost feel there’s potential here that just isn’t reached – it should be (and probably can be) a much stronger track. It’s not even giving me enough energy to write a decent review about it, and that’s a proper shame.
