Tim: We have here a dance track. And I don’t really think it needs much of an introduction.
Tom: It does have a cracking introduction of its own.
Tim: It does – the opening notes are unusual, until you realise they aren’t actually anything to do with the song, but are instead just a title sequence, but after that we still have a good opening first verse for a poppy dance track. It ends, though, with what would ideally be a drop into a big and heavy chorus, but is actually comparatively something of a disappointment. It’s not dull, it’s just a bit let-downy.
Tom: After that brilliant first bit, I was really expecting a heavy chorus, but it wasn’t to be. The second chorus – after I’d got over that surprise – I like a lot more.
Tim: Yes, and on the other hand, that middle eight is pretty great – it’s got that type of synth in it that reminds me of eurotrance from ten years ago and it’s brilliant.
Tom: Not only that, but the video has the blatantly “not quite erotic enough to get banned” dancing from that era. And we’ve previously established that I’m a sucker for Americana videos, particularly ones set in deserts. In short: yes, I like it.
Tim: Me too, ish – towards the end it finally gets going properly, and it’s, well, pretty good. It finishes on a high, sure, but it’s a high that’s at the level the rest of the song should be at, and the closing bit should be even better. This wouldn’t get me to put down my drink and head onto the dancefloor; a heavy enough remix, though, definitely would.
Tom: Damn right.
