A couple of weekends ago I was in Vegas…gambling, getting tattoos and shopping. I was at the Fashion Show mall and there is a huge monitor showing iPod ads and all weekend I heard the song “Shut Up And Let Me Go”. I found the song so catchy; I used my iPhone to download it.
When I got home, I decided to listen to the other songs on the album and I was not disappointed.
The Ting Tings (a two piece band from the UK) takes New Wave, Punk and Pop and blends it into a cool, tongue in cheek sound.
“Shut Up And Let Me Go” is such a great new wave disco song. The chorus (“I ain't freakin'/I ain't fakin' this/Shut up and let me go/Hey!”) is so bouncy, it has been in my head since Vegas, in fact I am singing it as I write this review.
The song “That’s Not My Name” reminds me so much of Toni Basil’s song “Mickey” even right down beat and timing.
“Impacilla Carpisung” is a blend of Talking Heads and Beck. The song is nonsensical, so there is no point in trying to figure out what the song is about, but I have figured out that this is a great song for the treadmill.
“Traffic Light” is sunny and jazzy. Katie White’s voice is a sweet falsetto. The song has a childlike quality about sticking by someone as they go through their problem and just telling them not to give up.
