"Back in May, Swedish pop maven Kalle J twisted Burt Bacharach's "Make It Easy On Yourself" into the glorious "Vingslag", his collaboration with Johan Tuvesson. He returns seven months later with the equally disco-rific "When You See Me", but the twist here is that there is no twist. The song glides along on a straight sample, which sounds so basic in its disco-ness. All the elements are here: the heraldic horn stabs, the shimmery windchimes, the chipper strings, the percolating bongos, the caffeinated high-hat funk, the strutting bells-- and Kalle J makes them work together in clubland harmony. Okay, so maybe there is a twist: for all its body glitter and flared funk, "When You See Me" is a self-admiring boast, as if flexing a bicep in front of a mirror ball. "When you see me, I hope you know what you're missing" are the only words to the song."
