1. Swedish singer who had a hit in 2017 with the song Last Dance.

2. Rhys, the star of 2008’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, would like to introduce you to your Summer anthem - Hot Summer.

Rhys has come a long way in the last 12 months. This time last year he was auditioning for the Top 100 in TEN's 'So You Think You Can Dance'. In June this year Rhys was dancing on the show’s final for a television audience of 2 million people. Rhys made a spectacular impact on fans of the show; he was colorful, charismatic and charming - the stand out star of the series.
Rhys has spent the last six months fulfilling his life long dream of recording an album. He has teamed up with the boys from Super Shake productions - the Sydney production team behind the summer remix smash 'Something Good 08' - to create a popular hit with a credible dance edge.

Introducing ‘Hot Summer’ - Rhys’ debut single, and your soundtrack for 3 months of hot days and even hotter nights. Led by a thumping verse and wailing war-cries, eviscerated bass-lines soar into a sun drenched chorus. It’s white hot. Just ask Network TEN, who will be featuring ‘Hot Summer’ as their new national promotions hook from late November to February 09.

As we saw on TEN’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, Rhys’ personality, much like his music tastes, are delightfully unpredictable; 'For me music and movement have always gone hand in hand. I like anything that makes me wanna dance. Be it indy and disco, to soulful house and gospel. Growing up at the Johnny Young Talent School has definitely defined my eclectic tastes. Throw in some electro, breaks and I’m there! Major influences on me have been the likes of Prince, ELO, Madonna, Queen, Daft Punk, Madonna and Basement Jaxx. I’m also totally inspired by some amazing Aussie acts at the moment, like the Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Gotye and Van She.'

Already sure to be a crossover club smash, Hot Summer is supported by remixes from some equally hot Australian talent.

From Canberra, The Aston Shuffle lead the charge, adding Prince-eqsue disco fireworks and staccato demolition to mix.
Trumpdisco, emerging from the darkest recesses of Melbourne's infamous all-weekend clubs, push the original from 'Hot' to 'Burnt' while home-town contemporaries The Hundreds and Thousands reminisce about summertime pool parties that stretch long into the night. It’s going to be a hot summer indeed…

Too Good To Be True
Rhys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want the light without the darkness
I want the sun without the rain
I'm beginning to believe it's possible
To have someone like you without the pain

When I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I promise I'll never ever ask for more
But when it comes to sweetness, baby, I'm insatiable

I'm like a kid in a candy store

You know what they say, you know what they say
You know what they say, can't have it all your way
When it's too good, too good, too good to be true
You know what they say, you know what they say
You know what they say, can't have it all your way
It's usually too good, too good, too good to be true

But not tonight
I want the light without the darkness (not tonight)
I want the sun without the rain (not tonight)
I'm beginning to believe it's possible
To have someone like you without the pain

Baby, I just want you to be reckless
So come on, flick the switch on common sense
'Cause I wanna feel the fire, baby, make it burn
I promise there won't be no consequence

You know what they say, you know what they say
You know what they say, can't have it all your way
When it's too good, too good, too good to be true
You know what they say, you know what they say
You know what they say, can't have it all your way
It's usually too good, too good, too good to be true

But not tonight
I want the light without the darkness (not tonight)
I want the sun without the rain (not tonight)
I'm beginning to believe it's possible
To have someone like you without the pain

Baby, I just want you to be reckless, ooh
Baby, I just want you to be reckless, ooh
You know what they say, you know what they say
You know what they say, can't have it all your way
When it's too good, too good, too good to be true

But not tonight
I want the light without the darkness (not tonight)
I want the sun without the rain (not tonight)
I'm beginning to believe it's possible
To have someone like you without the pain

But not tonight
I want the light without the darkness
(I want the sun without the rain)
I want the sun without the rain
(I'm beginning to believe it's possible)

I'm beginning to believe it's possible
To have someone like you without the pain

Overall Meaning

In "Too Good to Be True," Rhys expresses her desire for a perfect relationship without any pain or sorrow. She wants to experience happiness without the darkness or the rain, and she believes that it's possible with the person she's with. She promises to never ask for more, but admits that she can't get enough sweetness because she's like a kid in a candy store. However, she's aware that such a perfect relationship seems too good to be true, and she knows that people can't have everything they want. Despite that, she encourages her partner to be reckless with her and to forget about common sense. She wants to feel the fire without any consequences, and she believes that it's possible with the person she's with.

Rhys's lyrics convey the universal human desire for perfection and a happy-ever-after kind of love. However, she knows that such perfection is usually unattainable, and it requires sacrifices and compromises. Rhys is also aware of the risks of being reckless and the consequences that come with it. Yet, at the same time, she's willing to take that risk and enjoy the moment without worrying about the future. The song captures the joy, passion, and the risk-taking that come with love.
