Tim: Not sure why, but Molly Pettersson Hammar has dropped the Pettersson; she’s now got the vocals on here, from a couple of British producers. Still a slight whiff of pineapple, for which I make no apology whatsoever.
Tom: “I wanna follow where she goes / I think about her and she knows it”. Sorry, got distracted there, and I’m not seriously suggesting those lines are ripped off, it’s just an unfortunately similar melody in the verses. You were saying, pineapple?
Tim: I was, because it is, yep, another summer dance tune, and they seem to be out with a vengeance right now, with fairly good reason (he writes, staring out of his window at Majorcan drizzle).
Tom: It was -4°C here yesterday, Tim. ANYWAY. Pineapple time.
Tim: May’s drawing to a close, summer’s picking up the pace, and every dance producer worth their salt seems to feel it necessary to celebrate that. It’s an easy sound to push out, as we all discovered only too well a couple of years ago, so let’s hope it’s not making a huge comeback.
Tom: To be fair, they’re not using Kygo’s pads: the definition of ‘tropical’ has at least widened a bit.
Tim: True, so as it is, just a few tracks in, I can cope. Especially with a good number like this.
