Same Difference prove they're absolutely brilliant

WAIT! Come back. Seriously. This is the new Same Difference single Shine On Forever (Photo Frame). We'll make this quick. It's bloody brilliant. In a number of sneses it's the love child between the more brilliant Steps singles like Deeper Shade Of Blue, Stomp and One For Sorrow and S Club Juniors' One Step Closer.



Of course, it's important not to be uncritical about these sorts of things. Sean still suffers from a severe case of "earnest-face" even when the sole content of his lyrical delivery is "yeah". Sarah, on the other hand, has properly embraced the spirit of this re-invention and at one point in the video even elects to liee on the floor of the club where they're shooting the video. That, friends, is commitment to a bit.

The track itself is exactly what Same Difference needed as an antidote to We R One which was brilliant in its own right, but not exactly a song which screamed "relevance or sophistication". In fairness, neither does Shine On Forever but it manages to be brilliant in a completely different way which is all that really counts in the end.

Crucially, the choreography on the "photo frame" lyric which consists of Sarah and Sean drawing a massive rectangle with their arms is a stroke of creative genuis.

In short, it's very good but we wouldn't go so far as Youtube user jdharris7 who commented

"Wow! Very sexy! I need to take a cold shower now. lol." 

It's good, but it's still Same Difference. Some perspective is very important.
