Dragonette - I Get Around
If you keep tabs on Popjustice at all, then you've heard of this group. If you haven't and you keep tabs on Popjustice, you're clearly not even reading anything on there. Anyway, they are Canadian, doing electropop (what?!?!) and they are quite possibly the best new group of this year SO FAR. I KNOW IT'S MARCH SO THAT STATEMENT MIGHT BE PREMATURE. This song is quite good. It's about being a slut and it's got some great beats, some dirty little synths, some guitars- everything you'd expect in a decent electro song these days. Ch-ch-ch-check it out.
Sophie Ellis Bextor - Catch You
Murder On the Dancefloor? Groovejet? Mixed Up World? Nope. Sounds nothing like them, but her voice is still the slightly monotone, slightly snobbish thing you've come to know and love. It's another electro cut (come on, this trend has been going on since 2004 and probably won't end anytime soon) and is quite good. She discusses all the places she hides (in keychains, in the mirror, in the morning paper...she's a flexible gal isn't she?) and essentially is the dance floor equivalent of The Police's "I'll Be Watching You" in terms of the singer being a complete stalker. Except Puff Daddy won't be sampling this, and boy is she counting her lucky stars.
Hellogoodbye - I Saw It On My Keyboard
It's not a single from their completely wonderful Aliens! Vampires! Zombies! Paris Hilton! (just kidding...I'm actually not sure of the official title) album, but it's my favorite track aside from "Here In Your Arms" and I'm suggesting you go and download it. It's exactly what the title implies- the song exists around one great, very 80s keyboard riff. You shall love it. I command you to.
Groove Armada feat. Mutya Buena - Song for Mutya
It's a lame title, but luckily it's the best thing a dance floor will have heard since Jamelia's "Beware Of the Dog". Popjustice is hyping the hell out of this song, and they have every right to. Point one- Groove Armada. Point two- Mutya, aka ex-Sugababe. Point three- nice dance song. There you go. Home run.
Not so good songs...
Fergie "Glamorous" - We don't need to discuss why this is bad. It's all too obvious.
Gym Class Heroes "Cupid's Chokehold" - Bad. Very very bad.
Avril Lavigne "Girlfriend" - THE FACT THAT IT'S AN AVRIL LAVIGNE SONG IMMEDIATELY PLACES IT INTO THE SHITBIN.
There we have it.
