Tim: So here’s this, a summery dance track by a Swedish producer featuring a Swedish singer that’s possibly four months early but never mind, because you’re going to love this chorus.
Tom: Oh, you lied to me, Tim. You lied to me. Why would you do that?
Tim: Ahaha, I guess I’m just that kind of great guy.
And why not like it? Let’s face it, there’s nothing I like more when I’m pissed and on the dance floor trying to hook up with someone than a load of kids shouting about being children.
Tom: It’s not like it even works well, either: it’s not even a loud choir, it just sounds like someone hasn’t recorded the vocals properly.
Tim: It is weird: as though they didn’t really want to commit to it, so they did half a kids’ choir and half the normal and hope it would please everyone.
The ‘criticism just because it’s kids’ thing possibly a tad unfair, mind, as there are probably many successful dance tracks that have used child vocals; right now I’m having trouble thinking of one, though.
Tom: Even Robert Miles’ Children didn’t actually use children. Don’t do it, folks.
Tim: Anyway, the rest of it’s not bad – a nice euphoric number with a fairly unusual three-part chorus, decent beat, decent melody, and decently put together lyric video.
Tom: If you count “generic, repeated stock footage” as “decently put together”, then, yeah, sure.
Tim: Snarkiness aside: I’m all for this. BRING ON THE SUN.
Tom: Yep. Just ban anyone under 18.
