Ms Trez – Sweet Liar

It’s a lot better than Girls Aloud’s.

Tim: A couple of days ago we had Girls Aloud’s most recent slightly-banging ballad; now let’s have one from Ms Trez, Sweden’s current notable girlband.

Tim: It’s hard not to compare them, really, but fortunately for them this comes off very well indeed.

Tom: It does, although I’m automatically a bit biased against it: generally, girl-band ballads don’t tend to grab my attention. I’ll admit that it’s a lot better than Girls Aloud’s offering though.

Tim: For it, we have more of a beat, its not waiting until the second chorus to get going, and a lack of slightly irritating ba-baby.

Tom: I know it didn’t annoy you quite as much as it did me, but bloody hell I’m glad there’s nothing similar here.

Tim: Against it, well, there’s a more downbeat tone to the lyrics, and then there’s the fact that, well, they’re just not Girls Aloud. Still, I think these things all balance out, and this tracks gets a decent seal of approval from me. And that’s what really matters in today’s music industry.

Tom: (Don’t correct him, readers. It keeps him going.)
