Who is Tania Doko though. She is famous, all the bio's tell me so, but who is she? Everything is about who she has worked with and what she has done and nothing is about where she has come from. Three bios and I could not confirm what state she was from and it is only the mention of St Kilda in an article that leads me to believe she is from Melbourne. Maybe that's what her story lacks. It is superficial. Her story needs a soul and it has none. This is a pop song with a vocal that sound like Abby Dobson. It is not the same vocal sound Tania used earlier in her career when Darren Hayes was raving about her old band. Maybe that's the effect of living in Sweden for many many years.
it is interesting to go back to 'Buses and Trains' and then listen to this song and you realise that in over 20 years, the singers story has not changed. It is all about throwing yourself into the next car crash relationship. It is about her and her wants and needs, and not theirs. I guess that is pop though, selfish. The song sounds like it wants to be a Pink or Katy Perry song and well, it could be with different vocals...
