Tim: A Swede here on her third track, which is “a celebration of individualism”, which sounds nice until the rest of the (lengthy) accompanying blah can basically be summed up as “screw you guys, I’m fine on my own”. So please, do enjoy.
Tim: And that, I believe, is really rather pleasant, despite the message.
Tom: Hmm. I’m not sure I enjoyed that. I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s unpleasant, but I can’t say I came away wanting to hear it again.
Tim: Yes, about 50% of the lyrics are either “push delete” or “don’t need you”, and to be honest that does get a bit tiring after a while once you notice it…
Tom: I noticed that unfortunately early.
Tim: …but the music’s pretty lovely to listen to, her vocal has a sultry quality to it that invites more listens, and that first big drum beat when the chorus hit took me quite by surprise, which is often nice. All in all: better than might have originally been thought.
