I hear that her latest tune is doing very well, and 99% of the world has bought it.
My question is, is it any good ?
How would you rate it as a classic against something like Soft Cell's cover of 'Tainted Love' ?
Is it that good, or better ?”
Totally different so hard to compare but the song itself (and video) will pass into the general pop culture frame of reference.
I think its a really good song too. One of her best. It's pretty simple musically, really just a platform to feature the vocals but with her vocals, why not? It's not a huge departure from her previous work (some of which you really should check out) but its a superior pop ballad for sure. I reckon the album will be more interesting in terms of the variety of songs though.
