I'm not really hot on the heels of this one. I'd say Little Boots has already been out there generating a considerable amount of buzz in the world. She was a super hot ticket item at SXSW, and is currently blazing her way across Europe. All accounts state that her live show tops the recorded music - which I actually find really rare with singers of this kind of dance/electro, who more often tend to be standing in front of a couple of guys pressing a button every few minutes and singing what amounts to glorified karaoke. Thankfully, a Little Boots show is purported to be quite the party. Her debut EP, Aricebo is exclusive to iTunes and has two standout tracks "Stuck on Repeat" and "Meddle" that come off as a bit of a rougher-edged Goldfrapp, with swagger to spare. "Stuck on Repeat" starts with quite a lot of house loop noodling, but shapes up to be quite a disco symphony.
Though I find both of those songs appealing, I'm most excited about her forthcoming full length album, at least judging by the newly debuted single, "New in Town." "New in Town" improves on the formula laid down by "Meddle," has a rip-roaring sing-along-able chorus, and will probably be a big Summer hit. It comes complete, also, with a terrific video that sports what I've decided to refer to as "sexy homeless choreography" and dancing gangs straight out of West Side Story by way of Michael Jackson's "Bad."
Doesn't hurt that Little Boots herself is quite easy on the eyes as well.
