Eh. It's okay, I guess. I like the chorus, but the verses are weak. And it just feels too Goldfrapp for my liking, both the song and the video. And recent Goldfrapp at that, not good Goldfrapp.
Maybe it would've helped if I hadn't listened to this right after the new Girls Aloud single, which is much much better.
Very song-y. Feels like a Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Rachel Stevens song in fact, i.e. it's got a lot less bite than most GA tracks, but I'm sure the melody will grow on me.
Agreed - the new GA is absolutely awesome awesome awesome especially after 10 listens. The intro sounds like a tiny sample of the theme music from A Place In The Sun!
(That is, the A Place In The Sun property programme where they find people nice places to live in Corfu etc yes I have watched lots of daytime telly in my time um)

Said new GA single in full (well, in ripped form with shonky images)
