Lisa McHugh – You’re Gonna Get Back Up

“This is a perfect example of what I say every time: it’s basically schlager with different instruments.”

Tom: Irish singer raised in Scotland, singing a mostly-American music genre, pop-country. And it sounds…

Tom: Tell me you didn’t perk up a bit at that chorus.

Tim: I’m afraid I can’t do that, because I did indeed perk up a bit at that chorus.

Tom: I’d like to officially declare “pop-country” within our remit, Tim. I used to issue a disclaimer every time I sent you at track like this, but now? This is a perfect example of what I say every time: it’s basically schlager with different instruments. Everything here: the song structure, the three-minute length, the switch to the harmony line in the last chorus.

Tim: I can’t even slightly disagree with any of what you’ve just said: I would put this out there as a really good Corrs track, with hints of Shania, and that’s all good by me.

Tom: I don’t think it’s going to light up the charts or anything, but it’s nice enough.
