Kristina Maria – Move Like A Soldier

“Then that hit, and I started paying attention again.”

Tim: This a great track, from a Canadian 24-year-old; annoyingly there’s no decent YouTube version of it (this one’s a radio rip and doesn’t finish properly, and there’s one that’s sped up by about 20%) but there’s a good version of it here, so listen to that if you want to experience it fully.

Tim: And I bet you didn’t expect that drop, did you?

Tom: Blimey, no. I’d actually got distracted by that point in the track and tabbed off to something else — and then that hit, and I started paying attention again.

Tim: It made me realise I’m actually quite a sucker for a big female vocal with an equally big two-step chorus, because I also recently found out about another excellent track from a Faroese singer, which we’ll get to in due course, but mainly there’s THIS. The underlying dance line is pretty good already, and her voice on top is, well actually it’s exactly the sort of voice that would have done well on Krista Siegfrid’s track we did a few days ago – big, bold, and easily able to complement the heavy backing.

Tom: And “Instead of letting me down, I should be feeling you up” is a brilliant lyric even if it doesn’t quite make sense.

Tim: It is. This track is wonderful, and I would love to dance to it.
