Little Boots releases her debut album, 'Hands' on June 8th. I'm sensing a theme here as I seem to be talking a lot about female singers who have an electro sound that is reflected in a massive use of synthesizers. However, I think Little Boots is more on the pop side and this record will be just that; a mega pop album for 2009. I think 'Hands' will be welcomed by the mainstream as Lily Allen and Lady Gaga have been whereas La Roux will be limited to a specific audience, a more alternative or hipster crowd. Personally, I like her and I'm always on the lookout for a good pop record as there is so much crap out there...don't get me started on the Pussycat Dolls! Her first single 'New In Town' is a grower and the video is particularly awesome so I have included it somewhere below. If it wasn't clear before it is now, 2009 is the year for female electro-pop/punk musicians that are heavy on the 80s synth sound and all I can say is I quite like this!!! BRING MORE ON...

I downloaded mine but have yet to listen to it so if you get to it before me don't hesitate to comment and tell me about it. By the way, I'm liking artists allowing me to download some of their tracks for free.
I love music and this has absolutely everything to do with my Dad’s record collection. I remember I was told by my parents that they used to play Dire Straits to me whilst I was in the womb and that is why I am constantly drawn to everything about it. My taste is eclectic but I am a musical purist in terms of my admiration of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Patti Smith and U2. However, there is no genre or style that I don’t appreciate even those cheesy pop songs! It is here you will find what I think is the next best thing in music, album and concert reviews and advice on mixtapes.
Also, this blog will take an inner look into my personal style and what I think is different and interesting. I hope to show a distinct style that is for everyday.
So, WELCOME and please feel free to tell me what music turns you on and what your syle must have is!
