Tim: There seem to be a lot of “we’re young and great and awesome” tracks around at the moment; in case you’ve not had enough, here’s another one.
Tim: And I would posit that that’s pretty good, mostly because it is.
Tom: Yep. With your introduction, I was all set up to dislike that — but that’s an excellent chorus.
Tim: What are we meant to call that style that it has? I feel there should be a name, because it’s here and with Jess Glynne and Charlie Puth and with all sorts of other tracks, and it’s not exactly funk but it seems a not too distant relation.
Tom: It’s not “neo-soul”, but it’s certainly got a little bit of DNA from there — albeit mixed with a lot of pop and R&B as well.
Tim: Yeah, I guess that sums it up. Whatever we’ll end up calling it, though, I’m enjoying its presence (even if it probably does owe its resurgence to Blurred Lines) – it seems to add a chirpiness to everything, and even though this song here doesn’t need it on top of everything else, it provides it in spades and this song just works. Also there’s that woman with the hat in the video, who’s just fantastic and I’d quite like to throw her a surprise birthday party.
