Tim: Danish X Factor winner; second single; a two-part chorus I’m hopeful you’ll enjoy.
Tom: That introduction — the slight hints of what’s to come — really does set the mood well. It’s got promise. And as for that chorus: yes.
Tim: Oh yes. First part: lovely, edging towards the euphoric end of of the musical scale; second part: big and banging and entirely different but equally brilliant.
Tom: And linking them, a noise-gated drum introduction that sounds like they got Phil Collins’ engineer in. Even the verses seem to fit in well here.
Tim: The middle eight somehow manages to put both of those together and sound wonderful; towards the end, back for the final chorus, her vocals are fantastic and perfectly on point.
Tom: My one complaint is that the small samples from the introduction never really return to take their place in the final song — but that’s a minor thing. Everything, down to the traditional slight vocal changes on the final chorus, is good. I think I could have even gone for one more, bigger, bolder chorus; that ending was a bit too abrupt.
Tim: Perhaps, and I’d certainly not say no to a bit more of it either: it’s just a fantastic track.
