What’s been getting us into a big dancey lather of late?Rihanna - Don’t Stop The Music
Good Girl Gone Bad’s most dancefloor-friendly (watch out for an amyltastic backing fade-up after the one minute mark) moment is getting a single release, with a video that sees its star looking more the effortlessly-sexy superstar than ever before. Not sure it needs all that clapping though.
Hercules & Love Affair - Blind
Antony Hegarty (minus his Johnsons) provides guest vocals on an energetic bass ‘n’ strings workout, which sees H&LA dish up NYC-style disco that is more high camp than a tent and several wigwams atop the Empire State Building.
Taio Cruz - Come On Girl
The latest single from surprisingly-not-American Taio Cruz is a massive electro banger, with mile-high walls of synth, beats sharper than Stephen Fry on speed and a guest spot from Luciana, who does her usual thing but better over a few bars in the middle. Ravey.
Sebastien Tellier - Sexual Sportswear
Slinky Gallic goodness that is sexy and thrustworthy despite being more understated than a Lilliputian whispering the word ‘subtle‘. An album, produced by robot-headed knob twiddler Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, is out very soon. It is very good.
Neon Neon - I Told Her On Alderaan
Listen to this and think of a young Corey Feldman blasting down the street on a stickered-up Chopper, wind blowing through his adolescent hair and any worries a million miles away. Do this twice a day and you too will soon feel like Corey, only without the compulsion to waste your talent on a series of drug binges and poor career moves.
Goldfrapp - A&E
Alison may have ditched the hotpants for big old admirals’ hats (?!?) and stepped out of the glitterball‘s shimmer, but her crystalline voice remains intact on this sweeping, autumnal epic that is more ‘Felt Mountain’ than ‘Supernatural’. Welcome back and thanks for not going shit.
