Tim: It caught my attention with the brass, it held my attention with the chorus. Take a listen.
Tom: That is a good chorus, isn’t it?
Tim: It is indeed – unlike almost all of Naughty Boy’s back catalogue, this one kept me listening, and pressing play again once it had ended. The two highlights are the ones I’ve already mentioned – chorus line and brass – which takes care of everything except the two verses, which are acceptable enough to make this an enjoyable listen for me.
Tom: The verses really aren’t great, though — and that chorus is, I suspect, more of a grower than is for the best. There is a good melody line in there, I’m just not sure it’s enough.
Tim: Then here we’ll disagree, as I’ll give a thumbs up for the music. The video, on the other hand, is a separate entity, as it doesn’t remotely go with the song.
Tom: A full-on sponsor-logoed music video. Well, I guess that was always going to happen.
Tim: Well it’s actually kind of a charity one, albeit one of the weirder charities out there, the Uganda Skateboard Union. Keeps kids busy by getting them skateboarding, presumably as an alternative to crime and stuff, and spreads awareness about HIV and sanitation while it’s at it. Unusual methods, but fair play to them if it works, I guess.
