SINGLE OF THE WEEK ONE
Stefy - Chelsea
Have you seen the advert for this single? Basically, someone who sounds like a cut-price Lauren Laverne bollocks on about the song’s story, but with added “THIS IS STEFY, HER BOYFRIEND IS A TWAT”, girlpowerness. It is both embarrassing and ridiculous.
Fortunately, the song itself features no such terribleness. It starts off sounding a bit like ‘Sweet Dreams’ by The Eurhythmics (ask your ancestors) and by the end proves itself a more-than-worthy successor to the long line of sharp, shiny and sexy electropop records that have gone before it.
Really, there is no understating this song’s quality. It's simply brilliant. The lyrics are amazing (“She called me while you were kissing / So I could hear what I was missing”), the video is amazing (why wasn‘t The Verdict more like this), the music is amazing, and together they combine to form one of the best pop songs of the year even if, technically, it is a bit old.
BUY IT!
