Two b-sides to "Call My Name" have surfaced online. This one, "Telescope", is really lovely. I was not expecting one of the b-sides to be a ballad. And being really picky when it comes to ballads, I also was not expecting to like it so much. Especially since it's not an electro-pop ballad, but a proper piano & strings ballad. Perhaps it's the handclaps that do it for me. It is short and sweet and not overwrought. And because Cheryl doesn't have the strongest voice (that's not an insult), there's no ridiculous, unnecessary vocal acrobatics to bring it all over the top. Thank you, subtlety. Thank you, Cheryl.
