Thanks to my friend Glenn, I’m flipping over this song which hit #1 in the U.K. charts. To repeat what he said, there seems to be this movement of having young female singers (Amy Winehouse being the poster girl—and cautionary tale—of the moment) cribbing from the 50s and 60s and putting a “now” twist to the sound.
The song had me at the thumping intro beat. So now at night I’m bopping silly in the privacy of my room to this 23-yr-old Welsh singer’s song. All together now:
“You got me begging you for mercy!
Why won’t you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy!
Why won’t you release me?
I said you’d better release, yeah, yeah, yeah!”
(I’m not too hot on the video, but damn, I can play that song on repeat the whole day!)
Have a great, merciful weekend, folks!
