Little Boots: 'Remedy'

There's certainly a flipside to the music industry's start of year hype machine. Just eight months since Little Boots topped the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll, and despite seeing her debut album crack the top five, there are already murmurings that the project might be sailing into shallow waters. But, speculation and rumours aside, there's no denying that Victoria Hesketh knows what makes a ruddy good pop song.

With producer of the moment RedOne behind the mixing desk, 'Remedy' has all the right ingredients to steer the good ship Boots towards safer seas. It's got a big synthy intro, a bombastic chorus reminiscent of late eighties Kylie, and best of all a sparkling and kaleidoscopic middle 8 that's one of the finest pop moments of the year. The whole is so irresistible that it makes you wonder how long it might be before we're all saying, "La Who"?
