Sebastian Walldén – Sweet Summer Love

“A properly good dance pop track, I think?”

Tim: Current reigning champion of Swedish Idol, and here’s his third single, the first that I’m decreeing to be worthy for here. I think you’ll agree.

Tim: As the saying sort of goes, don’t bore us, get to the at least the vocal melody of the chorus, and I guess you can bring the instrumentation later if you feel it’s needed.

Tom: As long as you have the voice to carry it off. And, as you’d expect from an Idol winner, he does.

Tim: Right there, we’ve a properly good dance pop track, I think? BEATS in the music, THOUGHTFULNESS in the vocals, and SUMMER in the lyrics, which along with a decent melody is all I really need right now. Any complaints?

Tom: Weirdly, no.

Tim: Ooh, high praise indeed.

Tom: This is solid dance-pop, and if a few of those synth patches and effects are a touch dated, I don’t mind.
