So it's a very exciting time in the world of Nerina Pallot at the moment. On May 30th her new album 'Year of the Wolf' will be released and I have a feeling it's going to be a big one. The first single: 'Put Your Hands Up' is currently named as Popjustice's song of the day, with a snippet of the track, which I have to say is incredible! Popjustice describe the song as "an understated yet PATENTLY BRILLIANT tune", warning it "is highly addictive". Click here to visit the Popjustice article. The single will be released on May 23rd, so you better make sure that you all buy it!The final cut for 'Put Your Hands Up' is an absolutely beautiful song, the brass instruments work brilliantly with Nerina's voice and great lyrics and provide a whole new take on a song that we've only previously heard live. It's a really lively track that Pallot once described as 'a bit Eurovision' and 'as camp as Christmas', but since the original live version that we heard it's definitely progressed; 'Put Your Hands Up' would be wasted on Eurovision. I don't think I could be more excited for the music video, especially as Nerina once pictured people on roller skates wearing sailors outfits and cossacks dancing. So a big ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ for 'Put Your Hands Up', and bring on May 23rd!
Here is a sneak preview of the new single.. and it sounds amazing!!
I still think there should be a parody video of dancers in cossacks and on rollerskates :-P
ReplyDeleteNerina's missing out, big time, if she doesn't :-D
(we'll all have to beg her to do it at the next webcast)
