Tim: This came out at the end of last year and we missed it, but it’s got a video now so there’s an excuse to discuss it. Although actually, I’m not going to put the video here, because (a) it features him looking like a pillock and (b) it’s far too downbeat for a day like today.
Tom: I should point out: we wrote this during that recent period of glorious sunshine. If it’s ended by the time you read this, I can only apologise for being so chipper.
Tim: Fairly good vocal dance track here, with a healthy Taio Cruz-sized dollop of autotune and plenty of woah-oh-oohs to get everybody pumping.
Tom: Pumping?
Tim: Oh, I don’t know, it’s written now.
It’s pretty much everything you need to put into a dance track to get it played on an average night out in The Club, as it were.
Tom: And I’m fairly sure all of those things are “inspired” by other, similar dance tracks – it’s almost like someone’s amalgamated everything on one of the big “euphoric dance” compilation CDs into one track.
Tim: Yes, so quite why it was released in December is a bit of a mystery, and a shame because it almost deserves to do well. Still, it’ll probably feature on a couple of end-of-year compilations, and maybe he’s saving up a proper BANGER for later in the year. Let’s wait and see.
Tom: To be fair, this is pretty close to having BANGER status anyway. If he can beat it, I’m looking forward to it.
