Tom: She’s one of the panel on Australia’s Got Talent. Which, given this single, is a bit ironic.
Tim: Hahaha – the ‘Desire’ hitmaker strikes again.
Tom: Popjustice described this as “cosmically awful”, which may have tainted my judgement slightly. It’s not a good way to premiere it, either: why on the Footy Show? And who on earth put together the sound production?
Tim: I don’t know – the production doesn’t sound too awful. The expression of the guy on the left before they start dancing in interesting, though.
Tom: More to the point: it’s rare that I can call a track too damn stupid, but – that chorus is just inane. And it never changes. It goes nowhere. The song is three minutes of “meh”, with melodies that would have been considered bland in the worst parts of the 1990s.
Tim: Hmm. I actually failed to notice that there was a second verse in there the first time I heard it – not sure who that comes off worst on. The trumpets are quite nice though. But, again, repetitive.
Tom: Mind you, it’ll probably reach the charts. At least in Australia.
Tim: Possibly, though perhaps not if the part when they ask the stadium of four thousand people what they thought of it and about twenty people cheered is anything to go by.
