Molly Sandén – Satellites

“You know you’re about to get a good drop.”

Tim: New one off her excellent Like No One’s Watching EP, bit of good pop for you to start the week.

Tom: The trouble is, Tim, I’m in Germany at the moment. And thanks to a dispute between YouTube and the German music licensing authorities, I’m not going to be able to hear this before we go to press.

Tim: Oh. Ehh, we’ll figure something out.

Tim: Well, I’ll tell you right now that it’s pretty good – not quite another Like No One’s Watching, but still very good.

Tom: Where do Germans go to stream music, I wonder? They probably pirate it, like we all used to do. Describe the song to me?

Tim: It has one of those always pleasant chorus moments when you know you’re about to get a good drop, and it by no means disappoints, following up with a good DANCEY bit.

Tom: But, I assume, no key change. You’d have mentioned a key change.

Tim: Alas, no key change. Also slightly detracting: I’m not quite sure how well the Satellites metaphor stands up to scrutiny – I suppose you could describe them as dancing in the skylight, but are they typically just there for the first time? And do they frequently make ah-a-a-ahh noises?

Tom: In space, no-one can hear you ah-a-a-ahh.

Tim: Good point, I guess – they may very well do that after all. Mostly pedantry then, so: good pop song, I like it.
