Tim: LNKAY is the stage name of Ellen Stoksted, who’s from Stockholm and was apparently “raised in a house where ‘No-singing-during-dinner rules’ were necessary”. Probably enthusiastic, then.
Tim: And enthusiastic with good reason, it seems – aside from that slightly unpleasant electro bass line in the intro when it’s on its own and attention seeking, I like this a lot.
Tom: Huh. We have a completely different opinion. For me, it’s sometimes too harsh but mostly just… generic. What stands out for you?
Tim: The vocal comes along and is great, and I don’t think I can fault that chorus in the slightest – it has all the hallmarks of some of the greats like Robyn and the unsung heroes like Minnie-Oh, especially that final chorus which just brings together so many great elements. So aside from the first ten seconds or so, I love this track.
Tom: Whoa. That’s a strong comparison. I can hear the comparisons you’re going for, but somehow it just doesn’t gel together into a coherent whole for me. I’m not sure why: that’s a subjective “don’t like it” opinion, and I’m not sure I can back it up with anything.
Tim: Well, that’s the beauty of subjectivity, that you don’t need to. Since the rest of you are all sensible people, though, and now want to hear more from her, she brought out Hurricane last year and I’ve not idea why we didn’t feature that because it’s almost as good as this. ALBUM PLEASE.
