Shocked. And awed. Well, maybe not shocked as such, but regardless, this is class. The general air is Heart FM potboiler, but with all the settings exactly perfect. Having tried ‘Bond theme’ on Free Me (and failed), followed by an attempt at ‘Austin Powers’ on Maybe (which was tons more successful), the general air is a bit ‘Bonanza’ this time round. I might only be saying that because there’s a harmonica solo.
But think about that. There is a harmonica solo!!! On a single by her that used to be Baby Spice! Serious! There’s acoustic guitars - and they’re fantastic! Someone somewhere has actually given serious thought to the percussion arrangement!
True, this is still being sung by Emma Bunton, so it does still sound like her voice has been tinkered with to high heaven, but that doesn’t matter. If this doesn’t tear through early 2004, summat is wrong, very wrong indeed.
