xenomania/ brian higgins

i like it too. i'm no expert on their output but i certainly don't expect to hear a xenomania production where guitar work is one of its more striking features. i haven't really kept up for the past few years, has their ship basically sailed as far as top-tier commercial success goes? the imperative to release huge hits being somewhat out of the picture might actually make their work more interesting.

rmde at a youtube commenter on the vid saying "Ok but where is the chorus?"

has their ship basically sailed as far as top-tier commercial success goes?

I would say probably yes. afaik, they haven't had a solid hit since maybe 2012 with that brief, Girls Aloud comeback.

The unperfect debut EP is out and largely being ignored. It's kind of a mixed bag but this is something else:

Xenomania seem to be trying to make a comeback this year. In addition to unperfect, we have a new track from Florrie:

and a new artist launch (Paige Cavell):

Her first single is a vintage Xeno banger (and by this I mean it sounds like Girls Aloud/The Saturdays circa 2012). I like it, but I don't know if it's only because I miss this kind of stuff.

The Florrie single bores me to tears :(

incidentally "shot you down" is among the first florrie tracks to have made me lose interest in her as an artist

Xenomania > Stock Aitken Waterman

this rules but yeah partly because it sounds like it came out beside rihanna’s “where have you been”
