JUST IN

Also: the video for Danity Kane's Bad Girl has arrived!

Should we use this as an excuse for a long overdue Danity Kane thread? I THINK WE SHOULD.

The wiki-article on the single didn't mention any official connection to the film, anyway, so I assume it's bandwagon cash-in, heh. (The excuse cited was that they were running with the "when the red light comes on I transform" and making it literal.) The video is at least easily a distraction from the song, I agree, but I still like it! I'm easy with anything that's shiny enough, haha.

As a song it'll unquestionably be in my year-end singles list -- and yet it's only my fifth favourite on the album! All three Danja tracks are sat snugly next to each other in my top 5, actually -- that sharp, shiny, chrome-plated sound is just amazing, and I love how the production's almost manically busy. (Did you know Pretty Boy was the other candidate for lead single, btw? While I understand why Damaged won the vote, it's still kind of a pity it didn't go the other way.)

2 of You = pretty much a remake of Back Up from the first album, innit! (Which I'm not complaining about, seeing as Back Up was one of my favourites.)

Yeah as much as I prefer 'Pretty Boy' now, I think 'Damaged' was the best choice for a lead single, it's more ear-catching and strange. Too bad it WASN'T PROMOTED ANYWHERE aaargh.
