i'm determined to inject a heathy dose of enthusiasm and pop to this board (don't ban me, please - i'm doing it for the good of us all!) and rachel stevens' new record is a perfect opening argument for this.
it's a fucking HUGE, ballsy pop dance number that sounds not a million miles away from what grace's not over yet would have been if it were mixed by michael mayer and superpitcher.
of course, this is damned near perfect summer music and if you don't throw backflips over it, i'll be very surprised. this kind of record is exactly why i think music, and especially british pop, is in pretty robust shape at the moment.
sure, it's not going to cancel out 3rd world debt or close the hole in the ozone layer, but it's made me happier in a few listens than the vast majority of anything else i've spent time with this year.
anyway, here's an mp3 of the extended mix, just save to disk, listen, and treat yourself.
