Need a little something naughty-naughty to see your New Years in with?
If your answer is a resounding “yes!” then look no further than Electrovamp, or sisters Kally (17) and Tammy (18) as they are also known as. Hailing from South Wales, they’ve come laden with cheeky verses and electronic beats that could easily give Bodyrox a reason to consult legal advice for near-blatant replication.
For the Skins generation, this could well be one of the first anthems during 2008’s infancy – even more so as the accompanying video caused £10,000 worth of damage to their managers’ house – with the chorus building up to the line: “I’ll make you scream like you ain’t done it in ages!” – which is pretty much par for the course lyrically.
For others, this will be (for older listeners) just another Shampoo, who are bringing the attitude, a few infectious chorus lines and precious little else. The apparent musical leaning toward some of the most overplayed dance tracks of ’07 will split loyalties like a chasm, with some revelling in the replay and others reaching for any button that will cease the terribly predictable example of style over substance.
These two teenage sisters are treading a fine line between credibility and major irritation. With age and an apparent wealth of tenacity on their side, the jury can remain out for a while longer on this double-act before the final verdict is called.
