ALBUM REVIEW

Without doubt, this is one of the finest songs I've heard this year, and I don't say that lightly. This really is 'Famwave music, to coin a phrase: intelligent songwriting that speaks to children without excluding everyone else. Congratulations, ladies; you've delivered an absolute gem. I take my hat off to you.
