Tori White - Who If It's Not You?

Tori White is the first pop artist ever to have an official song for the Festival of Remembrance. After an excellent start, this MOR performer releases her third single but has yet to make any impression of an equal magnitude.

There is a funny, little opening- it actually sounds like it might be going somewhere. Country guitar and bass lines come though sounding like they've been inspired by Living For The City by Stevie Wonder. One of the finest places to start surely but after that it's downhill, the lyrics start as pretty standard, the vocal performance is steady and that's the best compliment one can offer.

The chorus falls flat. It uses one of the oldest metaphors in the book: "the sun rise after the storm", the bridge is weak and it is hard to believe this is supposed to be an emotional cry out to a lover. The voice becomes more affected and stagnated the longer the song goes on. There is hardly a change in pace, tone or key and the addition of some awful faux-funky saxophone makes the plasticity of the whole affair all the more irritating.
