Tim: Chinook, veteran of Norwegian Idol 2014, presenting a video for this, a song which first came out a few months back. Have a listen, you might enjoy it.
Tim: And that there, for me at least, is a song that while very enjoyable and actually not particularly long, does seem to go on a bit.
Tom: I couldn’t work out quite where it was going at start: it seems to change genre between verse and chorus, and the percussion, synth and vocal lines seem almost to be following completely different tempos in that first pre-chorus. That’s a heck of a trick to pull off, and it certainly makes the song interseting — I’m just not sure if it makes it listenable. And yes, perhaps it does go on a bit.
Tim: I don’t know why – like I say, it’s very enjoyable, and I’m perfectly happy to push play again once it’s finished, as those vocals are excellent, production’s good, melody’s nice and the chorus is fine. It’s just, after three minutes I look over at it and think “blimey, is this still going?” Maybe the chorus just isn’t quite fine enough – sure, it’s got a decent beat behind it, but maybe if that was lifted up an extra 20% or so I might get more enthused. Or at the very least add something new and exciting to the final chorus.
Actually, yes, that’s exactly it – bring in a proper bit of excitement after the middle eight, and I’d love this. As it is – fairly good.
