Tim: You know the word ‘Brilliant’? Yeah.
Tim: There aren’t many songs when I could honestly say ‘I don’t know how you could make this better.’ This, though, may well be one of them.
Tom: This is going to sound like a backhanded compliment, and I don’t mean it that way: this is incredibly well produced.
Tim: Sophie is a Norwegian fashion blogger turned singer, and I’d say that’s a good move based on this – the verses are great, the chorus is fantastic, the lyrics are of the great ‘I’m incredible’ variety, the instrumentation underneath just never lets up, and there’s really nothing I can find fault with here.
Tom: The YouTube comments constantly complain about autotune — it turns out the Norwegian word for that is “autotune” — and I think they’re rather missing the point. Whoever did the instrumentation and production for this should get as much credit as Sophie, because that’s astonishing: her voice is just one more instrument in an incredibly deep mix.
Tim: Top work, it really is.
