Tim: You remember Isa, she’s the one who performed Hairspray at Melodifestivalen. She’s come straight from that to tell us all how she’s moved on from jungle and is now all drum & bass is. Enjoy!
Tom: Moved on from the jungle? Really? With a “wim-o-weh” in there?
Tim: Well, yes, that does stick out a little bit, and it’s also hard to argue that it’s remotely drum & bass – basically, just falls into our preferred category of ‘standard pop’.
Tom: Right! On the other hand, that’s the title of the song, not a description, so I can live with it.
Tim: Good answer, especially because it’s pop that’s doing its very best to be loud and drummy and bassy, and for that I can only applaud it because it’s done a very good job of it, quite literally with all the drums in that middle eight there.
Tom: Maybe I’m just in a charitable mood as I write this, but I agree. Brave putting that long a middle eight in though, and earlier than half way through the song too.
Tim: Maybe, but with lyrics like “I let you break my heart just to feel the ache” followed up by “maximise the gain just to feel the earth quake” I think we should basically just let her do whatever she wants to do; she is, after all, doing it rather well.
