STOP THE PRESSES!!
|
 You could almost smell/taste/have sex with the excitement in the air when we received something in the IAR inbox about a brand new Slinkee Minx single.
You could almost hear the shrieks of joy across the universe when when we discovered there was an MP3 download link for us to hear the radio edit of said new track.
However you could have heard a pin drop for the 3 minutes and 43 seconds the song was playing on our little WinAMP program. Why on earth were we so gobsmacked?
Because this song is not only okay, it's actually very good.
A collaboration with Ivan Gough (!!!), the vocals are more computerised than Cher's "Believe", but as a whole package, this just adds to its personality. The Minx's first single, a cover of Belinda Carlisle's "Summer Rain", was easily one of the most disgusting songs of 2004, however their brilliant club romp "Closer" - the better of the two singles - did barely anything on the charts. And we're fairly certain the absolutely horrific and frightening images displayed in the 20-cent-budget video clip didn't help the songs progress either.
But this new single, called "Someday", is a step up from the other two releases. Still probably not the best they could churn out, but for now, it'll have to do. Plus, give them a clump of credit; the girls seem to be pulling a bit of a Dannii Minogue and forcing their music on the country until someone buys it. And they've even gone to extensive lengths to look attractive in their promo shots. Thank god. Because that "Closer" video clip could have killed any future in music for them.
The single is released on the 19th of September through Central Station, and you should, as they say, "do yourself a favour" and snap up a copy.
