Nottee - Young Modern Life

Nottee Totty

I was recently struck by Nottee whilst drinking in front of the telly in Stockholm. They were one of the first guests on the brand new local music show ‘PopCirkus’. I know very little about them, apart from the fact that the attractive youth fronting the band is 23 year old Swedish performer Nova Drougge. This is good pop. Well I like it. The track ‘Young Modern Life’ is fab, this is not the greatest version; but here you go anyway…

Girls Aloud - The Loving Kind

Pop Gold

Probably the best pop song of the past ten years. It's no surprise when you discover that the writing credits go to The Pet Shop Boys and Xenomania. It’s luscious, glorious, pulsating pop heaven. This is the naughty ones 20th top ten hit; which isn't too bad considering they did no promotion. Popjustice have been wetting themselves over this for weeks so we're not alone.
