Rochelle - Chin Up

Poptimists, I need your help! I can't decide whether this song is any good or not. On the one hand, the song is quite catchy. On the other hand, their singer Lydia looks unnervingly like Amy Winehouse.

What do you think?

the music, as far as indie-friendly electrowibbles goes, is FREAKING ACE. What a behemoth of a synth line.

However... *she* annoys the hell out of me - could just be her outfit, though.

And the video - featuring GASOMETERS (how cool is that?) and cute boys in Holi madness - is wonderful.

I give it a 135 bpm A+

I think I definitely like the chorus, but now I've realised the guitarist looks like Rhys from Hollyoaks so I have downgraded my 'ace' to 'botherd'.

The video is terrible - sub-Blue Man paint thingies and 80s-video-style prancing about. And "one for sorrow, two for joy" is a terrible opening line, almost "it was a dark and stormy night" in its laziness.

She does look like an healthy Amy!

When was this released? I'd say 1989.

i'd give it a borderline tick for the production (probably a better remix on the single). she needs to be more annoying in the Luciana way imo.
