The Similou - Clouds

"I was born in the clouds for sure, get out of my head"

The Similou crafted one of my favorite pop songs of all time a few years ago with the punchy All This Love, and I was eagerly awaiting their return. Yesterday, the duo unveiled part one of a two part single. Clouds is the first new material the guys have put out for some time, and I am so glad to have them back. All the Similou trademarks are there. Lots of keytar, vintage synths and a glorious chorus. While it's not quite as upbeat as any of their previous singles, it's still a dance track, and a very interesting one at that. The chorus definitely steals the show, a theatrical, cheesy hook that revels in the inherent drama that good pop music should present. Plus, the duo have made this song available for free. It's amazing how many singles are given away free from Swedish artists, yet they still manage to have a booming music industry. We could learn something.
