LP, rather.

But "Boyfriend" sounds like boys with guitars only with a girl on top, all the guitar elements you claim to hate are still there!

i know but i have to have a token punk rock song innit. also, guitars counterbalanced by a) a girl, b) no indie boys, c) the girl being ASHLEE MOTHERFUCKING SIMPSON, d) fantastic lyrics

the key to 'stars are blind' isn't "what the backing track sounds like" - most people have been correct so far - it's paris's voice which really makes the song. with a dodgy vocal the song would have been a bit crap.

hrrrmmm

And it's got one and it is.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

No, lex is right on this one--it has no right to be a good song but it totally is. And, like "Dakota" I guess, I can't really explain why, because yeah it is Paris Hilton singing over a white-reggae song, and yet...

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

Most pop-reggae is pretty good, it's a sound that works well diluted, as producers have known since 1970 or so.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

UB40 are kind of bad at it, though (probably because they're all proper reggae heads so they feel a bit guilty about what they're doing).

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I meant to say "I loathe pop-reggae but I still like this song." I think because the guitar is muted and there are pretty sparkly touches and she's not singing with any touch of a patois, thank god.

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

what was the tipping point for UB40 turning shit? i'm gonna say 'I Got You Babe'. everything before that is okay if not good.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

altho i see 'Don't Break My Heart' immediately followed 'I Got You Babe' so that's that sketch knackered then.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I've made manful efforts to get into their early erm "post-punk" stuff but apart from "One In Ten" it's all a bit dreary.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like 'Food For Thought's dreariness.

just to steer this back on track, I CAN see Annie doing pop-reggae quite well altho I'm not sure she should.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

I think pop-reggae is close to foolproof, but then Annie is no fool so she might want to do something else.

The feeling I get from the Paris Hilton record is that they've given her something nice and easy to get her started.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

it really is a total curveball tho!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

when i try and hear it in my head it turns into 'The Tide Is High' even tho they're hardly THAT similar.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

I just heard 'Crush', and I really like it, even more than 'Heartbeat'. A good, simple pop song, seemingly it was made to annoy hipsters.

― zeus (zeus), Thursday, 7 September 2006 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, whatever did happen to Jennifer Paige?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 7 September 2006 10:14 (nineteen years ago)

does SONGS REMIND ME OF YOU actually exist or is it a prank by Popjustice?

― pisces (piscesx), Thursday, 7 September 2006 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

STILL WAITING FOR "2 OF HEARTS" COVER PLZ KTHNX

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

"Crush" is so ridiculously the best song she's ever done. Hopefully her new album will go into this rockin' guitar-sounding direction

three weeks pass...

The site currently has a "coming soon" placeholder too: http://www.anniemusic.co.uk/

...but I'm getting impatient!

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)

dude, chill. she's not coming to your house!

― latebloomer, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:47 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not even asking for that much. I'll just take a new single, plz.

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:54 (eighteen years ago)

cannot wait for another album. i'm tracking down every b-side and bootleg track.

if the next album's supposed to come by the end of this year, shouldn't a leak come soon?

can't wait. love this pop babe.

Anyone waiting for the more Annie will probably enjoy Yelle's "A Cause Des Garçons" in the meantime:

why, this contains no news at all!

― o-ess, Sunday, 11 November 2007 23:26 (eighteen years ago)

I guess there is nothing new.

― Geir Hongro, Monday, 12 November 2007 11:09 (eighteen years ago)

Back soon, apparently! Hooray!

― I know, right?, Sunday, 20 January 2008 01:25 (eighteen years ago)

I have heard one new song called "Loco."

― Savannah Smiles, Sunday, 20 January 2008 01:33 (eighteen years ago)

Where?

― o-ess, Sunday, 20 January 2008 23:57 (eighteen years ago)

yes, where?!

― NI, Monday, 21 January 2008 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

On a Univ. Music "Upcoming in 2008" sampler CD.

― Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 17:42 (eighteen years ago)

Any good?

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

It's even more bubblegummy and 80s than the Anniemal stuff, I think. She could pass for 12 years old on the vocals in the chorus. She sings "You're so loco, everybody says that you're a no-go. I know. Baby take me down before you go-go." The verse is mega-catchy. The vocals are mixed really high. There's a kind of spoken-word breakdown. It's super short, like 2:30 or something. It's no major departure, so if you liked that stuff...

― Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

The vocals are mixed really high.

That's either a really good thing or a really bad thing..

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:02 (eighteen years ago)

sounds a bit like 'The Crush'. i STILL haven't heard 'Songs Remind Me Of You' - YZI?

― blueski, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 18:02 (eighteen years ago)

From Popjustice:

«(...) Annie, whose as-yet untitled new album features collaborations with Franz Ferdinand, Girls Aloud and Datarock and kicks off with comeback single 'I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me' (produced by Richard X) in a few months.»

― ana, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

features collaborations with Franz Ferdinand, Girls Aloud and Datarock

"Loco" definitely doesn't sound like it's one of these 3 collabs...

― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 14:39 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

http://www.myspace.com/anniemusic has the new single (linked offa Popjustice).
