Tim: You & I was a worldwide(ish) smash, Peanut Butter Jelly went top ten in the UK and Australia; how’ll this do? We won’t predict, because we’re terrible at that.
Tom: Ben Haenow’s at 18 in the midweek charts. Can’t believe it’s that low.
Tim: Ouch. Well, let’s check this out anyway.
Tim: Hmm. Well, unlike what would appear to be the average consumer I vastly preferred Peanut Butter Jelly to their debut, so maybe it’s a good thing for the duo that I don’t like this one as much?
Tom: Agreed on both counts. Peanut Butter Jelly was brilliant; this is… well, a bit more generic.
Tim: It’s still good, it’s still recognisably Galantis with the trademark dance and distorted vocal, but for me it doesn’t quite have that undefinable thing that made their last track so great.
Tom: I believe that’s technically called the “X Factor”.
Tim: True, although the TV show seems to have drained the original phrase of any form of utility. It took me a few listens to really get Peanut Butter Jelly, though, so maybe this’ll improve on me. I do hope so – like I said, it’s still good, and I’d love it if I soon came to think of it as great, but for now: not quite.
