Britt Love - Music Makes You Lose Control

"Come on, I command you"

Oh, Britt Love. It was such a nice surprise to see her on this season of X-Factor UK, but such a disappointment that she didn't make it through to judge's houses. Still, I hope the show gave her a bit more exposure, because this is an artist worth breaking into the big time. Music Makes You Lose Control is a brand new track she posted earlier today and, like her other solo stuff, is an excellent slice of funky electro pop. The song samples Abba's Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight),
which--although overused--is never a misstep. But it doesn't rely on that sample, focusing instead on some propulsive production and a big, bombastic sound. I hope we get a Britt Love solo album sometime. Until then, I'll just have to listen to all the unreleased Mini Viva tracks!

Britt Love - Come With Me

"We'll make a world of our own"

I was a huge fan of UK girl duo Mini Viva, back when it looked like they could be the next big thing. Unfortunately, after releasing their best single (One Touch), they were dropped before even getting to record an entire album. Luckily, the more interesting/unique voice of the two, Britt Love, is going solo with some dynamite dance pop. The clips on her facebook page sound amazing, but to fully whet your appetite, Come With Me is available to download for free. All you have to do is "like" her page and sign up for her mailing list. Well worth it, definitely. The song has a major Robyn "With Every Heartbeat" vibe, though it's more easily pinned to a specific era (ie: the 80's). And even with all of the pulsing electronics and flourishes, Britt's one-of-a-kind vocals are the highlight. This girl is a pop star, through and through.
