You Got The Style

Label: Parlophone

1924
athomas by Andy (quirk) Thomas June 16th, 2002

Very much a soundtrack to sitting in the park and eating an ice cream, this is the summer's first big guitar tune. With it's ducking and diving vocals, easy going guitar strums, and occasional synth stabs this is as pleasant as a song can get before turning into bland mush like The Lighthouse Family. There's a real retro feeling going on as well, reminiscent of several old records you can never quite name. Not a bad thing of course, provided the sun keeps shining this could well be a major hit for a stunning major label debut.
