Tim: So, you ever get that thing when you listen to a song and you think ‘huh, it’s okay’, and then you hear it in the background a bit later and you think ‘oh I know this, and it’s really good, what is it’?
Tom: Yes! Normally on the radio days later. I once asked Shazam about the same song three times in a week, and I feel like it should have been more sarcastic by the end of that.
Tim: I ask, because that’s basically what happened here.
Tim: According to what she told Zane Lowe on Beats 1 last week, her Queendom is what she basically wants to be a home for all her fans who need a place to be alone together.
Tom: I think the most startling part of that sentence is that anyone actually listened to Beats 1. Anyway, yes, you were saying, alone together.
Tim: I don’t really know if that works or not, but I do know that, like I said earlier, it didn’t really do much for me actively the first time I heard it, but then actually it turns out I really like it.
Tom: Whereas I’ll be honest, I’m judging it on the first listen here. It’s… it’s okay, I guess, but if it turns out to be a grower I’m really not sure I’d give it enough a chance.
Tim: And I’m fairly sure that’s not a bad thing – sure, if it was a Eurovision track or similar where one play was all we got, it’d be a significant drawback, but as it is, just a couple of plays in it sounds great. And that’ll do me. Very nicely, in fact.
