Sunday ( German: Sunday) is a song by British synthpop duo Hurts. It was released as the fourth single from her debut album Happiness.
Criticism
Alix Buscovic of BBC Music described the song as a "floor -filler, which has a very strong influence of Europop and therefore Depeche Mode and PSB " (English: "power -dressed Europop floor -filler channels did early Depeche Mode and the PSB " ) which with theatricality (English: " theatricality " ) and a brooding behavior (English: " a brooding demeanor ") was created, however, criticized the text. PopMatters critic Joe Copplestone compared the song with New Order, by says it's " authentic for the happy era " (English: " gleefully era- authentic" ), and praised the commercial appeal. While he criticized the lack of profundity of the lyrics of Happiness, praises Sam Shepherd of musicOMH Anderson's work since the song as a mix of Eastern Bloc Industrial splendor with Euro Vision Discopop (English: "Eastern Bloc industrial pomp with Euro Vision disco pop" ) contains, so that it has a surprisingly charming effect. In a review on the website Drowned in Sound Andrzej Lukowski wrote Sunday cut into the " boy band territory" one, but with a " discreet hi- NRG- Synthlinie ", but still with a "desperate clumsiness (English: " desperately gauche " ) feature. Likewise finds Alexis Petridis from guardian.co.uk, that it was flimsy and commonplace (English: " flimsy and commonplace " ) and claims that it, like the other songs on the album, that it was a " highlight " without " increase ".
Music Video
The director of the music video led W.I.Z. The music video was shot in MediaPro Studios in Romania. The Romanian actress Laura Cosoi plays like in the previous video Better Than Love starring the duo. She explains that she represents the temptation of Orpheus of the Underworld. The video was shot for 16 hours and half of the budget was spent on costumes ordered from London, but did not arrive due to weather conditions. Why was improvised, and the designer Maria Miu created the outfits. Theo Hutchcraft confirmed that the video follows a similar theme as the other videos. He adds that it would be nice to go away to rotate the video, because you live for a few days in another world. "We're going to an exotic, beautiful place, think up a topic that will understand none other but us, and surround ourselves with women, so that people will not ask what it is. " (English: "it's nice to go away to film the videos Because You live in a different world for a few days [ ... ] We go to an exotic, beautiful place, think of a theme did no- one else wants to understand except us, and surround us with women so people will not ask us what it 's about!
