Tom: It’s generic dance music time!
Tim: Yay…

Tom: It sounds like… well, it sounds like a lot of other tracks. And there’s a reason for that: the YouTube account that uploaded this video is “SteveAATW”: All Around The World records, known in the UK for Cascada, Scooter, and the Clubland series.
Tim: Yep – actually the YouTube account I often go to if I ever fancy listening to fairly generic and occasionally good dance music.
Tom: There’s nothing actually wrong with this track: the vocals are great, the production is top-notch, and other than the somewhat odd “come and play in my jungle” line, this sits inoffensively in the background. It’s a middle-of-the-road, middle-of-the-Clubland-compilation track.
Tim: I don’t know – I’m not so keen, and would place it considerably down the lower end of the scale. The problem for me is that there’s no real melody to get involved with – it’s just her vocals over an uninspiring beat rather that anything memorable. Although you are right about the jungle line.
Tom: How do I know that it’s middle-of-the-road? Well, apparently Jenn D performed at the Popjustice party last Christmas. You know, the one we went to. And I don’t remember her at all.
Tim: You know what? Me neither. Although, that reminds me…
