Tom: An anonymous reader sends this in, with the not-particularly-helpful note “Slovakia music”.
Tim: Hmm, let’s see…four piece ‘new-age pop’ banded formed in Bratislava, with a Wikipedia section that’s definitely not been written by their record label.
Tim: Well as a cookery instructional video that’s just not hygienic.
Tom: I think the best advice for this song is: “mate, you don’t need that autotune”.
At about 1:39, in case you’re wondering.
Tim: Oh. Oh, yes.
Tom: That moment makes me wonder how much more of it’s been applied to the track: and while I’ve got no real problem with use of autotune itself, it’s a bit like breaking the fourth wall in a play. As a stylistic choice, it makes sense: just doing it once seems a bit sloppy.
Tim: Either that, or they slightly overapplied it and hoped no-one would notice, which’d be my bet here.
Tom: Anyway, the song. I’ll be honest: I didn’t expect that pre-chorus. Once I got used to what the song was actually trying to do, it started to work for me: but the whistling got repetitive, the melody got a little dull, and not even the middle eight could stop me moving off to another tab and getting distracted.
Tim: Yeah: it’s an enjoyable track, but I was ready for it to finish after two and a half minutes.
Tom: Shame: there’s a good song in here somewhere, but it’s just not quite made it.
Tim: I’d say made it, and then made some more and more and never really knew when to stop.
