I have to admit that when Annie came out with her album Don’t Stop I found it to be utterly forgettable. The kind of forgettable that had me rather frustratingly fastforwarding through the tracks hoping to hear something that would allow me to leave the mouse alone and just enjoy what I was hearing.
It seems to have taken until now for me to actually give a shit about the album and for that I am entirely grateful. I still find most of the album quite dull and unappealling and I still fast forward through the tracks on the album, but mainly to reach this particular song.
The video for “Song Reminds Me Of You” isn’t particularly earth-shattering, ground-breaking or jaw-dropping. The song however, put simply, is.
Well, I think it is.
What is perhaps more likable about the song is that she didn’t need the likes of Designer Drugs (“Anthonio” anyone?) to rescue the song from the eye-rolling poppyness the others on the album sadly suffer.
Put simply, it highlights a lot of what is great about an electro pop song done so very very well. Good vocals, killer kickbeat, lots of synths, full sound, more synths, and hypnotic rhythm.
