    "comment": "#533 of the best opening tracks as voted by you, our listeners! \n\n\"Starting the record off with a patient, slow burn, 'Need You Now' is a pop song built using one of the core the principles of club music, the build-and-release. It begins gingerly, just a few light synth pulses and a drumbeat, but as it climbs, you sense that a payoff isn't far off. Synths quicken, [Dan] Whitford's voice begins to ache, and by the time we reach the four-minute mark, the song has exploded into one of those glittering, starry-eyed climaxes that pop music fans live for. Arranged with the utmost care and craft, it's about as perfect a Side One, Song One as you'll find.\": https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12091-cut-copy-need-you-now/\n\nWe need you now!
