Little Boots is the blogosphere's newest darling, and a personal favorite of Dame Perez Hilton. She's been all over the lips of the oh-so-trendy and frankly, until yesterday, I was unimpressed. Despite this, it's impossible to deny that her brand of catchy electropop isnt a tad infectuous, as evidenced by the fact that it has earned second place in Brit's Critics' Choice award (behind another personal favorite of mine, Florence and the Machine). She's working with one of my favorite producers, Greg Kurstin (one half of the Bird and the Bee, as well as producer for Lily Allen, Ladyhawke, and Britney Spears among others), so you know her sound is going to be semi-legit, at worst. Her leadoff single, "Meddle," features her trademark dance sound with a vibe that's creepy in the foreign-gu-down-the-hall-whose-gaze-might-linger-a-few-seconds-too-long-but-is-generally-harmless kind of way. Don't get me wrong, "Meddle" is good, but after hearing it, I wasn't jumping up and down. Then I saw her stripped down cover/home video viral success of Kid Cudi's "Day N Nite," and she began to win me over. Then yesterday came, oh, glorious yesterday, and I heard her cover of Freddie Mercury's "Love Kills." The minute those glittering beats hit my ears I began shouting her name across the rooftops (read: dancing embarrassingly alone in my room). Is she pop's next darling? Debatable. Is she at the top of my pregame playlist cleverly entitled "rrrraaageeeee?" Absolutely. Homegirl goes down easier than a red-headed slut (1 part peach schnapps, 1 part cranberry juice, 1 part jager, 10 parts multiple mouthgasms). Git some.Meddle - Little Boots
