Sugardaddy State Of Play Single

The product of Groove Armada's Tom Findlay and solo artist Tim Hutton, Sugardaddy's State Of Play falls somewhere between 80's influenced pop and a contemporary dance chart hit. Think along the lines of a modern day Erasure and you're probably well on your way. Consisting of synth stabs, a 4/4 beat and catchy chorus, State of Play is fun single that despite its glaringly simplistic measures is a good example of pop done well.

This release also comes with three dancefloor-based remixes, and whilst two of those cuts flirt a little too close to the original for comfort, it's the Greg Wilson mix that probably provides the most alternative option.
