Tim: The previous two Amanda Fondell tracks we’ve mentioned – Dumb and Bastard – were both fairly melancholy affairs. This? Oh, hell no.
Tim: It is, in fact, more or less a total U-turn.
Tom: And while it’s certainly more upbeat, I found that I was still fitting into the “generic Ellie Goulding-alike” bracket in my head: I’d expect it to the background for a teen drama and not really a decent musical choice.
Tim: Out with the melancholy music and the harsh antagonistic lyrics, and in with major-key dance beats and “keep the love coming”, and I for one think it’s a great choice. Not that her previous ones weren’t appreciable, they just weren’t entirely enjoyable. This, on the other hand, is entirely enjoyable, and precisely the sort of upbeat, cheerful, happy dance tune I want to listen to on a night out, or a loud night in, or in fact any time at all, really.
Tom: You’re just more enthusiastic than I am: it just keeps slipping away from me for some reason.
Tim: Oh, that disappoints me. My view: just, great.
