Tim: Betsy’s British, she’s been around a year or so, and she’s got this lovely track as her new one.
Tom: That is a good piano introduction. I like a good piano introduction. And the rest of the track’s pretty good, too: good enough that I properly sat up and smiled when that first chorus kicked in.
Tim: I say lovely, it’s not the happiest message ever, but it’s a damn good track. She’s got a voice to rival Annie Lennox, the song has a great melody that’s infectious in a very good way, and the video has a good number of good dogs in the video – all signs of a great track.
Tom: I’m not sure about that last criterion, but yes: there’s a depth to those vocals that only a few singers can manage. And what a chorus! That’s such a good chorus that I just used an exclamation mark.
Tim: Less objectively than that: it’s also a track that I immediately wanted to hear again once it finished, and is one I keep enjoying. And that’s really the litmus test as far as I’m concerned. GOOD DOGS.
