It's safe to assume that hard line feminists are not Holly Rose's target audience.
She is a cute blue-eyed blonde who in order to feel complete requires only that her man is happy and smiley. He can be messy as he wants, leave the lights on in the house and be late for dates - "I like you just the way your are" she trills.
The video for the song shows Ms Rose hanging out with Mr. Right in soft focus scenes which might have been filched from a perfume commercial : This is an ad-man's vision of modern romance.
The means of expressing these soppy sentiments is, appropriately enough, lovers rock - the sound of sanitised reggae made popular by artists like Gregory Isaacs. But while Isaacs' non-pc lechery was fuelled by the desire for steamy sex , Holly Rose's lightweight musings are enough to make Mills and Boon novelettes seem like the height of raunciness.
