Tim: I don’t know why, but I always get really excited when a new Roxette track comes along – I’d never think of them if asked what my favourite band was, but they do have a tendency to produce great tracks. So let’s push play and see.
Tom: Listen to that intro! That’s such a good intro! And it leads into a great song, too.
Tim: Still going with the repeat to fade, which is disappointing, especially when it takes up a full third of the song; on the other hand, that chorus itself is very enjoyable, the verses also entirely hit the spot, and all in all I’m put in mind of a Pet Shop Boys, BWO style track, and for that reason I like it a lot.
Tom: That’s a good comparison: this sounds a really solid BWO track, particularly that crash into a very different middle-eight — a middle-eight that was initially disappointing, but by the end: blimey, that’s well produced.
Tim: Yes, I’d have liked a lot more coming out of it than a standard chorus repeated and slightly building until the fade, mind, but the first two thirds: jolly excellent.
Tom: You know what? For once, I don’t mind that at all. That final chorus is switched around enough that I don’t mind. Although there’s got to be a better alternative to fading it out.
