Tim: She’s been off for a couple of years, but now Moa’s RETURNED, with this, conveniently enough.
Tom: That sounds a bit like a Corrs track that never made it out of the 90s. I meant that as a compliment, but then it turned on me half way through writing it.
Tim: I dunno, it’s probably not the worst you could’ve said, and I kind of know what you mean. This here’s pretty lovely all the way through, but to be honest I wasn’t really sucked in by until the note that came just before that first chorus. It was an effect similar to the end of the middle eight in Guld och Gröna Skogar – that moment itself isn’t great, but it comes with the immediate promise of what’s coming up next, and we are duly rewarded with it.
Tom: I mentioned recently, Tim, that I only remember about ten percent of the tracks that come through here. How you maintain such an encyclopaedic knowledge is beyond me.
Tim: Oh, please, surely you’ve not forgotten that incredible track already? In any case, here it ushered in a chorus that was slightly more soulful, with a much gentler and softer vocal (almost ethereal, though that’s probably overstating it) – I hadn’t previously thought of her singing as particularly harsh, but suddenly I realised that that’s why I wasn’t quite so drawn in by it to start with. All together, though, and by the time we’re throwing in the emotion of the final chorus: it’s great.
Tom: True: I’m slightly worried you’re confusing “vibrato” and “emotion” in that final chorus, but yes: it’s lovely.
