Little Boots: 'New In Town'

Released on Monday, May 25 2009

At last! Little Boots has been a hip name to drop for at least six months now, and she won that BBC Sound of 2009 poll back in January, so it's about time that her first proper single began picking up spins. 'New In Town', produced by Lily Allen collaborator Greg Kurstin, features a slicker pop sound than early MySpace favourites like 'Meddle' and 'Stuck On Repeat', but it's no less engaging.

Inspired by nights she spent in LA while recording her debut album, this is an ode to going out and having a dance even though you've got no money and no gang of mates to hit the floor with. Driven by synthy power chords and a beat apparently nicked from a Flo Rida single, the starlet makes good on her promise to "show you a real good time" - with this electropop nugget, Little Boots is sure to get us all stomping.

Great song, with some great remixes

Is this review a joke? Worse than 'Mama Do', and that's saying something

These people who are saying this song is rubbish know nothing. Deserves to be number one because its simply fantastic

Quality electronic pop. A star is born.

This is really nothing special. Meddle is so much better.

This song will be a great contender for number 1 spot. I REALLY HOPE THIS SONG DOES GO TO NUMBER 1 BECAUSE SHE'S JUST AMAZING! GREAT TRACK! PURE ELECTROPOP! She sounds like Dido a bit in this song. Finally, she getting recognized for her work and music

sorry i man in the last comment that i think they should be refused.

i personally dont think comments like 'Pure sh**e' should be refused. Fair enough if people want to put across a negative view, but that's just offensive and bares no real insight into what the user might actually think. hmmm

It's average, not bad. La Roux is much better.

The hype isn't deserved if you ask me.

Luke, London, on May 5th, 2009
She's pure hype, 1 good song and now she's turned into a generic female electro pop singer. Rachel Stevens could have come out with this in 2005.

James, Nottingham, on May 4th, 2009
Way way way better than La Roux I Like it

Chris, Merseyside, on May 3rd, 2009
