Tim: Lead single, out now, from Saade, Vol. 2, which comes out at the end of the month, and continues the ‘this is my sound’ dance theme that started with Vol. 1., leaving behind the pop stuff that got him started.
Tom: That starts with a bang. And they sing each other’s name! That’s a bit nicer than, say, Flo Rida just shouting out.
Tim: I like it. Did I prefer Manboy? Perhaps, but I’m getting used to this Eric Saade, and I actually don’t think it’s any bad thing at all.
Tom: I was skeptical this time, but that quiet build into the first chorus? Genius. Like it.
Tim: Good, isn’t it? He’s still got a decent hook, the lyrics are all family-friendly, there’s not a massive use of our good friend the auto-tuner, there’s a nice beat so it’ll go down well in a club, and what with the fairly well-known Dev on-board for this I think this could do rather well.
Tom: Agreed, and I rather hope it does.
Tim: He’s apparently in favour of Hearts in the Air being his first proper international single, which is a perfectly decent choice, but I reckon this ought to be be an excellent second release.
