Sophie Ellis-Bextor returns to follow up her mostly successful Catch You single, really having to deliver on this one to have any chance of the kind of comeback she's undoubtably hoping for. I have to say, good old moonface actually manages to pull it off.

On first listen, most of the song is pretty forgettable, but with some persistence it manages, as all good pop songs do, to burrow neatly into the listener's brain and lodge itself there. However, unlike most other pop songs it achieves this goal with a more understated sound, achieving memorability through a chorus so gentle that you barely realise it's there. In other words, Sophie achieves a good pop single with the class that she is known for, never stooping to the unbearably repetitive nature of most pop. It makes for a much more pleasurable listen, even for those whose tastes usually lie outside the genre.

Of course, this isn't intellectual stuff and was never going to be. The lyrics don't stray too far from merely acceptable pop fare, and there's nothing spectacular musically. However, as a whole it is a perfectly listenable and amiable song. If you liked Sophie's previous stuff, especially the last single (and not so much Murder On The Dancefloor), then this single is for you.
