What if Caligula sang post-rave dance pop? His horse would be confused, for one. But the idea so charmed Victoria Hesketh, former singer for U.K. electro-punks Dead Disco, that she dubbed her solo outfit after the Roman tyrant. Here, she channels some of his notorious ambition into her first Stateside EP. "Stuck on Repeat" is sweet and featherweight, with a coyly literal melody, and "Love Kills" is a Goldfrapp-worthy rager with an insidious bass line. Pity her finest U.K. single, "Meddle," didn’t make the cut -- but then, her dance-floor reign of terror is only just beginning....full text |

British-Pop sensation Little Boots‘ Illuminations EP, exclusive in the U.S. will be released on Elektra Records on June 9th. This five-track EP features rare and exclusive tracks alongside the new single, “New In Town,” and the track that started it all, “Stuck On Repeat.” This teaser and taste is in preps for the full-length debut, Hands, due for release later on in the year.
Little Boots, known to her friends and family as Victoria Hesketh, will be touring the US and has been praised as one of the most talked-about UK pop stars this year. If there is any doubt, she came in at #1 on BBC’s most influential “Sound of 2009″ survey - without a proper single charting her to this honor.
“New In Town” channels the energy and pop disco sound of Lady GaGa meets Kylie Minogue, ironically the director of the music video, Jake Nava, has directed Kylie, Beyonce and Britney videos. This is the shining star of the EP and could be one of the summer themes of radio if given airplay on the Top 40 stations....full text |

| It had seemed as if the so-called Godfather of Britpop's halo had slipped in recent times. After the triumphant comeback of Wild Wood and Stanley Road, Paul Weller had seemed to slip into a comfortable rut. Heavy Soul and Heliocentric were pleasant enough listens, but didn't really get the blood pumping. Maybe Weller was content to rest on his laurels and watch the world go by as he enjoyed middle age. Illumination proves that verdict was pretty far off the mark....full text |
