Michael Rune feat. Ragna – Ekko

“Sax-infested.”

Tim: You may remember Michael Rune from the sax-infested Min Indre Stimme, or, if you watched it, Denmark’s Melodi Grand Prix where he competed with the sax-infested Wanna Be Loved. Care to take a guess at one of the instruments in this track?

Tom: Is it the tuba? We’re long overdue a tuba revival.

Tim: And gosh that’s wonderfully lovely isn’t it? Quite a bit more toned down than both previous offerings, with nothing particularly big or brash about it.

Tom: Well, yes, but that meant I stopped paying it attention about half way through. The flip side of being toned down and lovely is that sometimes it just isn’t all that interesting.

Tim: The quick string movements in the second half of the chorus are particularly enjoyable for me, along with the gentle sax which is, ooh, the word smooth springs to mind, though I’m not really sure what that means in terms of music. Either way, it’s a very enjoyable listen.
