Few pop musicians have been able to keep their essence like Little Boots. The English singer/songwriter and DJ has always been on trend and culturally on point even in the shadow of other artists like Robyn and Lady GaGa, but that has never kept her from being interesting and illuminating. Her newest release, “Business Pleasure,” is a totem of her commitment to quality pop music and it’s bound to get the kids going.
Synthy, techy, and infused with heavy doses of future bass, “Business Pleasure” is a transient, 1980’s sci-fi heater with a theatrical flair comparable to Bat for Lashes or St. Vincent. The pop aesthetic, therefore, is left on the sidelines to cheerlead while the soundscape evolves and culminates into an otherworldly soundtrack fit for a techno noir feature film. And as the sounds begin to escalate and arpeggiate into a trance backdrop, the track transcends into something beyond the cookie cutter pop music we’ve become accustomed to on the radio. This is new. This is encapsulating. And it sure as hell deserves any recognition it receives.
You can download Little Boots’ latest EP on all major digital media retailers and listen to the song after the jump.
