Tim: Following a run of a few tracks that weren’t remotely successful over here, he’s gone all French on us for the first song from his next album; if my French serves me correctly, the title translates roughly as ‘She Tells Me’.
Tom: I remember his last album giving me musical diabetes – there was just too much sugar. Is this any different?
Tom: Ooh. It’s still sugary, but there’s a lot more to it than that.
Tim: Yeah, and I really like it – something along the lines of ‘her’, whoever she may be, telling him to dance, and as a piece of music it fits well with that.
Tom: He’s still got the falsetto in there as well, but it’s backed up by more this time.
Tim: And about the fact that it’s in French? Controversial, perhaps, but so what. It won’t sell as well over here, I suppose, but ooh, UNLESS! Maybe he could follow in Avril Lavigne’s footsteps, because what she did with Girlfriend was absolutely wonderful.
Tom: I reckon an English translation could be a proper singalong hit – as I suspect this will be in France.
