Shivaree - Goodnight Moon

This single just epitomises what's wrong with the music buisiness today. Record labels are now so worried about ventures that would not end in high profits, that they would only release overproduced pap like this. There is nothing wrong with the single itself, if you like this sort of music. There's the unchallenging rhythm, and Ambrosia's voice that sounds so innocent, that the aim is to probably make blokes go weak at the knees. But her voice sounds so pathetic, that someone should give her a slap, to wake her from her daydream.

Admittedly if you like music by Texas, Travis, and all those other MOR artists, this song is pretty good. There is more invention in here, the change of dynamics, speed, etc, than in your average Texas record. And it is also one of the better tracks off the album. But it's just not interesting enough.
