Goldfrapp - Rocket (EMI)

Column: CD Single Reviews   |   Date Published: Wednesday, 17 February 10   |   Author: Dave Ruby Howe   |   3 years, 3 months ago

For those of us that loved the electro, Black Cherry version of Goldfrapp, last album Seventh Tree was a bit of a fizzler. But it would seem as though Goldfrapp have got their groove back, or at least their platform boots as comeback single Rocket shoots along on glitter-lined clouds of smooth ‘80s synth-pop. It’s cheery as hell and it feels damn good.
Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn (Kitsune) :

I honestly cannot stop going on about these kids. After two brilliant singles they’re back and kicking off their debut album. Sure, Undercover Martyn isn’t as strong as past jams, but it’s still a deliriously upbeat bit of stylish garage-pop and kicks the butt of any other song you’ll hear after it. Unless you press repeat, that is.

Ke$ha - Blah Blah Blah (Sony BMG) :

Despite any lingering good will she might’ve had for Tik Tok, which was admittedly insanely catchy, that chick with the dollar sign in her name has officially outstayed her welcome with new single Blah Blah Blah which simply regurgitates the hard-drinking, hard-partying electro rap that worked so well the first time. $eeya.

Marina & The Diamonds - Hollywood (Warner) :

Marina finally comes into the light with her Hollywood; a gleeful mix of bouncy piano, lustrous production and of course Marina’s bright lyrics delivered in her twisted operatic style. It’d be easy to put her down as the latest Kate Bush wannabe, but she spins her own style and it’s very special to hear.
