Swiss Lips – U Got The Power

“A vague impression of oversized trousers and neon colours.”

Tom: A video entirely made of 80s breakdance movie clips. It’s not bad, but it could distract from the track a bit.

Tom: It distracted me enough that, at the end of my first listen, I couldn’t think of much to say about the song. I couldn’t even remember it; I just got a vague impression of oversized trousers and neon colours.

Tim: It is distracting, you’re right, but not as distracting as what is really, really meant to follow that very first line. “If you’ve got the power, I’ve got the feeling” ah, we’re getting down tonight. One if you’re gonna, two if you wanna…just me?

Tom: Oh, blimey. No. Not just you. Not any more. That’s the song completely ruined, then – in that I can only hear the other, better track over the top of it.

Tim: YOU’RE WELCOME.

Tom: So anyway: listen number two. Just the audio this time. And… hmm. Well, it’s generic synthpop, and I’m still struggling to say anything about it.

Tim: Well, I’ll say that everything’s alright.

Tom: The chorus is good, I suppose? It seems to be about three and a half minutes of a moderately good track that goes in one ear and out of the other.

Tim: The chorus, yes, that’s not bad. Not hugely inspiring, not particularly novel, but not the most memorable part of the song either.

Tom: Am I being unfair here? There’s nothing actually wrong with it, I just find that it slips my brain straight away.

Tim: FIVE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL ALRIGHT.
