Tim: A cover of Diana Ross it would seem, and rather more modern that you might expect (and just so you know, I don’t know the original, so I’ll be judging this as a new song).
Tom: Well, the original featured Michael Jackson and, while not particularly successful, was quite fun – so we’ll see how this one turns out.
Tom: It’s no Michael Jackson, but that’s a good cover.
Tim: Good strong beat throughout, which is always a plus. The verses aren’t all that interesting, but the song really comes alive in the chorus for sone proper hands waving in the air on the dance floor movement, and that redeems it nicely for me. I’ve got to say, though, that I’m a bit disappointed with what happened after the bridge, or more accurately what didn’t happen.
Tom: I know what you mean – I was expecting a big triumphant WHOOMPH out of that, and it didn’t happen.
Tim: Right – the bridge was pretty much just an empty bit of music; following that and the building line of music underneath the beginning of the echoey chorus up to 2:35, that needed something special. Perhaps not a key change (though it’s a while since we’ve seen a decent one here), but at least something to say WE’RE BACK.
Tom: If it’s key changes you’re looking for, you’re going to love this weekend’s Saturday Flashback.
Tim: Ooh, sir, how you do tease me.
