![]() First listen (VPNs are worth the investment!): I'd have expected to have more of Christine in the vocals for the first single so the lack prominent vocals is a surprise.
It's sonically softer than SWS, which is a good thing. That works for Lindsey solo but wouldn't mesh with Christine. The chorus is super catchy. Lindsey is still using the varispeed vocals that were on SWS. I like it here and on SWS but I know some people didn't (sorry, elle!). Production notes: Lots of hard panning going on. It sounds like everything is close to left-centre-right. It's very wide when you listen on headphones. This is something I really, really like since it comes close to my day-job's niche. On second listen: If Christine is here, she's very buried. I do agree that she's more present in the instrumentation in a very good way. Probably more notes to follow. EDIT: On third listen and I'm grooving away with a massive smile on my face ![]() EDIT 2: It makes me think of Did You Miss Me from GOS as a lead single. It isn't that similar musically but both are good pop songs with enough of a quirk to keep them interesting. The only thing I could do without are the Big Love grunts, but I wonder if they aren't intentionally recalling that song for some reason. I haven't dug into the lyrics yet to see if there could be some reference. Last edited by Peestie; 04-13-2017 at 11:29 AM.. |

![]() The song is definitely not a rocker like either of those but it is darker than DYMM. It's maybe more like End of Time. Or a mix between the two. All I know is I've listened to it 17 times and I'm still enjoying it ![]() |

Oh I suspect lot of keyboards in this one is Froom, not Christine, since this is one started in 2012, but who knows.

![]() I think bass is John. It's a great bassline either way. Drums is a mix between drums that are potentially Mick (they're not too explosive) and wee percussive hits that jump left and right. Could equally be Mick or Lindsey-loops.
Overall, I lean to it being Mick. |

My summary is that it is like the more poppy things from Lindsey's last two albums. I'm almost certain Christine is absent from the vocals. I think all of the backing vocals are Lindsey. Sounds like there are 3 of him in the chorus - lead vocal, a delayed/echo version and a slightly manipulated version further back. Instrumentally it is driven by the rhythm section with a acoustic guitar picking over the top. There are synth/keyboards in the background and some piano licks in the instrumental sections. It is really surprising Christine isn't prominent but you can feel her influence. |

![]() There is a Mick-esque beat going the whole time. I'm listening to the middle section where the vocals drop out and there are fills that sound like Mick.
