An Intoduction is in Order

Young UK singer Pixie Lott just went number 1 in the UK a few weeks ago with her handclap happy debut single, Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh). It's a pleasant, very catchy song that features the retro-pop sound that has been present in a lot of female British music since Amy Winehouse blew up a few years ago. The song is extremely likable as is Pixie, but I wasn't completely sold on her. I think I am now. Her other songs are very good and she has a great voice. I would say the most notable of her other songs is Here We Go Again. It's produced by my favorite producer of the moment, RedOne (GaGa). It is a good melding of her retro-pop sound and RedOne's hard-hitting, modern dance beats. I think it could be a hit.






Her next single is Boys and Girls. It's very retro pop and sounds Mark Ronson-esque. It's a pleasant song. Very fun, but familiar sounding. Here We Go Again should be the next single though.





Another charming song by Pixie (great name by the way) is called Turn It Up (The Fall). It rides a nice beat and a light piano and the chorus is fun. Here's a snippet.





Her songs are strong, a good mix of new pop and old. I'm excited for the album.
