all year. It will satisfy both the fans
they have picked up with their own releases, or their much
heralded reworkings (Of NERD’s ‘Lapdance’,
Xpress2’s ‘Lazy’ or Elton John’s ‘Are
You Ready For Love to name but three), but also fans of classic
pop music in the making. A song that fits on the dancefloor
or equally on your i-Pod. The real revelation of here is
the songwriting. For an outfit previously known mostly for
revising and augmenting other people’s songs, it comes
as an almighty hallelujah that Freeform Five’s secret
weapon is an arsenal of catchy choruses, melodies and hooks…And
with not a single faceless Scandinavian hitmaker-for-hire
in sight.
Remixes come courtesy of London’s
Grand National who deliver a harmonic pop reworking, Berlin
production team Mandy with a straight ahead club banger,
Freeform Five’s Anu Pillau, with another classic floor
shaker in his trademark Freeform Reform guise and finally,
comes the roof-raising stomper from a very well known outfit
moonlighting under the moniker Six Fingers.
Strangest Things is released
