M.I.A. - XXXO 4.5/5
Myspace
Art over commercial appeal has always been M.I.A.'s formula, "XXXO" is an aggressive, in your face, techno-dance track with her middle finger waiving high. "Tweetin' me like tweety bird on ya iPhone," M.I.A. spits fire with every word. It's a deliciously rebellious single, and only too welcome to have one of the most interesting artists around back at the forefront of genre-bending music.
Natasha Bedingfield - Touch 3.5/5
iTunes
The beloved Brit-pop/girl power singer, returns to form with the surprisingly refreshing single "Touch." Unlike most of her female counterparts bump 'n grind tracks, Bedingfield's dance-pop single tells a story about the chain reaction of events that lead to 'that' moment. The echoing boom of Bedingfield's vocals and the climatic urgency make it a suitable summer single.
Robyn - Dancing On My Own 4/5
Leaked
Inspired by "sad, gay dance anthems," according to Robyn, it's an addictive electro-pop single that falls in the same vein as "With Every Heartbeat." Robyn lurks in the shadows of a dance club, heart breaking as her ex-beau kisses his new girl, all the while she's invisible to him. It's an emotionally powered number, with thumping beat and lyrics like "stilettos and broken bottles/I'm spinning around in circles,".... yup it's a gay anthem all right!
