"Revelling in its own mediocrity, this release ensures it’s accessible to everyone without making an impression on anyone"

Flaunting the generic, catchy pop we've come to expect from Ricki-Lee's signature soulful, nasal pipes, this EP won't inspire a “revolution of love”. The title track perfects its tried-and-true brand of wholesome dance stylings, building dutifully to a satisfying chorus. While the acoustic version of this song plays on its earnestness with simple piano chords, Minx's EDM remix is plastic and derivative. An uninspired, pseudo-emotive ballad, her unplugged cover of Avicii's Wake Me Up is similarly unnecessary. Revelling in its own mediocrity, this release ensures it's accessible to everyone without making an impression on anyone.
