Sannie – How Long

“I can see why she chose different branding”

Tim: Well here’s fun – new artist, or rather a new name. Full name is Sannie Charlotte Carlson, aka only bloody Whigfield.

Tom: WHAT? Really?! Okay, I am immediately excited for this.

Tim: And…well, I can see why she chose different branding, because that’d be a decidedly low-key track to come from Whigfield.

Tom: Hmm. I’m not sure about low-key. It’s not bubblegum pop, I’ll grant you, but let’s be honest, Saturday Night wasn’t exactly the most exciting track to ever come along. It was — and I realise this is sacrilege — actually a bit repetitive and dull too.

Tim: Repetitive, yes, but dull? Hell no. Much as I love her for her work on Saturday Night and Last Christmas, I can’t help but think that this really is just, yeah, dull.

Tom: You forgot Big Time, but yes: it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

Tim: It does absolutely nothing for me – do you get anything from it?

Tom: To my surprise, I do. But I suspect most of that is down to the production, at least for this radio edit: it’s exciting enough to keep me interested, and that middle eight’s lovely. That said: you could put pretty much any session vocalist in her place there and it’d be much the same track. A decent mid-setlist track, but it’s not going to get anyone on the floor.
