Tim: The second, and hopefully concluding, part of our series of great tracks by terrible people, and it’s still no less upsetting.
Tom: Ah, this is where we disagree. On the first part, anyway, Chris Brown’s clearly a terrible person but at least I won’t ever want to hear this song again.
Tim: Seriously? Mate, you don’t know how lucky you are. I mean Rita’s probably lovely – we’ll find out this autumn, I suppose – and Chris Brown’s just the featured artist so I was hoping that maybe I could just ignore him like I did with Nicki yesterday, but no. He’s just as prominent as she is, and his verse is decent enough, putting the odd bit of autotuning aside. Again, it’s all wrapped up in a decent melody, with a fantastic chorus, and I really, really like this, after just a couple of listens.
Tom: I just don’t hear it! It’s mediocre at best: a plodding, middle-of-the-road ballad that could have come straight out of the 90s, apart from that autotuning. I don’t mean that in a good way, either.
Tim: Ugh, why can’t I think that? DAMMIT.
