Tim: E-mailed to us as “a catchy floating airy electro-pop track with a video full of images of freedom and magic”. Pretty much lives up to that, so have a gander.
Tom: YouTube’s age-gated this video, so those at work may want to take appropriate precautions.
Tim: The PR that followed in the rest of the e-mail is roughly thesis-length, starting with ‘colourful family history’; quite frankly I’d got bored by the third paragraph, which focused on her granddad’s romantic exploits in America (seriously), so I skipped to the end and found that Dreaming Kind “was conceived as a battle cry for sensitive dreamers”.
Tom: That’s… well, I’m not sure that’s possible.
Tim: Yeah – I’m fairly sure there’s some sort of oxymoron in there but never mind, because the original ‘floating airy’ bit is good enough for me – describes it well, with all the “oh-oh-oh-oh-etc”s, and it’s a lovely track.
Tom: You seem to like this sort of thing much more than I do. I get that all the component parts are good, but it just seems…
Tim: Mostly forgettable?
Tom: Yep. That.
Tim: Maybe, but her new album’s out next week and I’ll be giving it a listen.
