it's 92 outside, let's make our move

I know skyecaptain flagged Keke Palmer up at the end of 2007 but I remember saying back then that the full genius of 'Keep It Movin' wouldn't make itself known until summer, and so it has come to pass. I cannot stop listening to this. SUMMER JAM TIME.

Word. I didn't discover the album until this month, but Keep It Movin' is clearly the ultimate summer jam. Current favourite moment is the harmonies on 2-1-2, 3-1-2, 3-1-0.

Friend Me Up rides the beat well, although the repeated "friend me up"s can get a bit grating depending on what mood I'm in. Bottoms Up and Footworkin' are probably the two tracks where I really get the juke-pop vibe Dave described the album as, and work quite well. Music Box has the sucker punch of escapist emotion and Game Song is perfectly bonkers.

'The Game Song' = little baby Ciara!

(or maybe Tiffany Evans, whose album I have just downloaded but not heard, is going to wrest that particular crown back this year...)
