Tim: Last time we had a chilled house track you said you yelled out BORED after just a minute or so, and I’ll be honest with you, I’m not entirely certain this won’t provoke a similar reaction; on the other hand, I love it.
Tom: That sounds very much like someone listened to Sigala, went “I want to sound like them”, and then only put in about half of the effort required.
Tim: Hmm…not entirely unfair, I guess. Because yes, the lyrics are basically non-existent. And yes, there is perhaps twenty to thirty seconds of music in there, spread out over a full three and a half minutes.
Tom: Which the lyric video rubs in. With the exception of that one verse, it’s literally just the same words for three minutes. I’m not even sure Daft Punk could get away with that.
Tim: Thing is, though: for all that, I really, really like this. I’ve heard it several times, and each time I’ve made a mental note to check it out later. Is it the melody? Is it the vocal sounds? Is it the instrumentation? I don’t know.
Tom: It’s because it sounds like Sigala.
Tim: It just sounds great, however many times I hear it.
