Tim: Reviewing Hello Hi, we wondered if this lot had a future after Melodifestivalen; well, Polly didn’t as she immediately quit, but Molly and Holly are still going strong, with another (as yet unnamed) member taking Polly’s place.
Tom: Probably still called Polly: I suspect whoever put the group together designed it so the actual singers were interchangeable.
Tim: Cynic.
Tim: And…and I have no idea what to make of that.
Tom: I do: it’s bad. It’s rare for me to flat-out say a track like this is bad, but it’s somehow managed to turn their Euro-J-Pop thing into a morass of plodding dullness. Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely possible to do Eurodance tracks like this and make it decent — Almighty Records proves that the style works, and the old 90s releases from Dancemania show the tracks can be decent even if they’re not remixes. But this…
Tim: Not a fan, then. But still, “You will hear me when I come, when I pop my cherry gum, I will never stop pop.” What does all that mean please?
Tom: It’s either cheap innuendo or just half-assed lyrics. Or both.
Tim: I’d have a punt on that last, I think. Musically, it’s pretty much as previously, though to a slightly lesser extent – the verses could just about be contained within a standard song, but that chorus is – well, about cherry gum popping. Is this what it’ll be from now on? Part silliness, part cheap innuendo? Well, that’ll clearly never last.
