Tim: It saddens me to tell you that Hanne has not chosen to cover the Five classic; it pleases me to tell you that actually, this might be even better.
Tom: Really? That’s a bold claim.
Tim: Because what a fantastic piece of pop music that really is. The production is absolutely spot on, just as it should be.
Tom: Yep, can’t fault that. Better than the Five classic, though? Definitely not. What stands out for you?
Tim: Those slightly breathy vocals are excellent from the off, and when that chorus hits there’s just nothing to be faulted whatsoever. The post-chorus continues that run of triumph, with a song that all in all is just superb.
Tom: I can’t disagree with anything you say there — but I think the song itself, the melody and lyrics, just aren’t all that much to write home about. Now if it was produced this well, and also a cover of Five? Then I’d join you.
Tim: And I’d be even more excited. I know I do often get overexcited by tracks and sometimes that’s not entirely justified, but here, I think it’s entirely appropriate.
