Andreas Rodlund, Matt Hewie & B3TA feat. Jonny Rose – Ultimatum

“THIS.”

Tom: “B3ta”? Really? He knows that’s a bit taken, right?

Tim: Well, you’d think so, but apparently not. Or just doesn’t care. Anyway, whatever he’s calling himself, him and the rest have done this, some more Swedish dancepop for, though heavier on the dance and lighter on the pop than yesterday, so feel free to TURN IT UP LOUD, as it were.

Tom: You know how lately I’ve been down on a few average-sounding tracks, waiting for something a bit bigger and better? THIS. THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Tim: EXCELLENT. Because “oh, haven’t we had enough piano dance yet?” went my thoughts, until the piano faded away and was almost entirely drowned by everything else in a quite wonderful manner.

Tom: I couldn’t agree more. This is the first time in a while that a chorus has lived up to the promise of the euphoric build before it. I want to dance to this, Tim. It’s amazing.

Tim: There’s not a lot to say about this, really, aside from: LOUD, GREAT, and, if you’re paying attention to the lyrics, just imagine he’s American and ordering you to forget your old tomato. Go on, try it.

Tom: Oh… oh, damn it, Tim. I was really enjoying this.

Tim: HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA YOU’RE WELCOME.

Nexx & Matt Hewie – Put Your Hands

You know the bit I mean. Yeah, that one. I like it.

Tim: Nexx, a band best known for 2008 hit Synchronize Lips.

Tom: Or in other words, “a band not really known”.

Tim: Matt Hewie, a bloke who has replaced the female what was in that group.

Tom: But not well enough to just be assimilated into the credits with the main group, it seems.

Tim: Put Your Hands, their new song.

Tim: Music here is good – not sure how to describe it, but it’s the sort of back and forth hook bit that comes after the chorus. You know the bit I mean. Yeah, that one. I like it.

Tom: It sounds a bit Aqua-ish, actually; similar tone to the voice and, yes, that back-and-forth bit.

Tim: Lyrics are also fun – I’m loving the juxtaposition of ‘I want you to fall in love with me’ and ‘I want to do you baby night and day’. That last bit reminds me of a whiteboard we’ve got a work; it’s supposed to be some sort of inspirational thing and it says ‘I did something amazing today’. Every time I walk past it I wish I had the guts to get out a marker and change ‘something’ to ‘someone’, just FOR THE LOLZ.

Tom: Do it. Or, better yet, carefully alter a copy of it in Photoshop, reprint it, and see how long it takes for anyone to notice.
