I'm writing this as I listen to them, so if it seems like I'm rambling, it's probably because I am.
Track 1 - my parents would love this. It's 70s soulful disco, heavily influenced by the Motown sound. Not my cup of tea at all.
Track 2 - this starts off sounding like early REM, but then the chorus is much more like something Athlete would release. It's nice, I like it. Doesn't jump out as an obvious winner, but I haven't heard the other tracks yet.
Track 3 - Great intro, with the trumpets (at least I think they're trumpets). Hey, this vocal is not at all what I was expecting after that intro. It's a woman with a very masculine voice. Tune's great, I'm not sure the vocal has entirely won me over though.
Track 4 - Is this Ireland's premiere Johnny Cash impressionist? It's a bit crooning, although it probably feels the most "romantic" of any of the songs so far. I could imagine The Corrs doing a really good cover of this.
Track 5 - The obligatory foreign language entrant. It sounds like a French cabaret tune, but it's clearly not French, and there's a Latino feel to it as well. Hey, didn't some guy play this whilst I was having dinner with my girlfriend in a restaurant in Spain?!!
Well, that was interesting. I think I'm going to have a very hard choice again, but for different reasons to last week. None of these songs really grabbed my attention. Sorry folks.
