LOVER – SINGLE REVIEW


Lover – Fallen Famous 
Lover - Fallen Famous


Release Date: Out Now

Firstly, how has the name Lover never been used for a band before? Strong work. Anyway, on the London outfit’s new single, ‘Fallen Famous’, which has recently been getting some love from no less than Lord Lammo. Opening in a hedonistic squall of feedback, the tune soon settles in to a pulsing rhythm before the sultry vocals slide in a red dress holding a cigarette in elegant style. This is the kind of sophisticated electro-pop that only the British can produce in the same vein as Dubstar and St Etienne but, more importantly, the Human League and Alison Moyet. What I really love about this tune is the electro wig out and decent in to loops that the live drums keep pushing forwards. This is the direction Ellie Goulding should have gone in but she opted for shampoo adverts and skimpy clothes instead.
