New(ish) Single > Florrie > Too Young To Remember

Florrie (known on her Passport as Florence Arnold) is a brilliant pop star in the making, but already a great pop star in her own right. With an armory of brilliant pop songs and an obvious knack for writing, producing and singing words it's criminal she hasn't cracked the top ten yet. Then again, as long as the music's great what does a chart placing matter eh? 

Her latest single Too Young To Remember dropped from the musical womb a couple of months back and I missed it in my blogging hiatus. It has something to do with H&M and an ad campaign I'm sure. What a catchy number to miss, what a fool I was/am. It's a step back to her pure pop ways, away from the loosely structured electro-synth-artsy brilliant EP Sirens in 2014. It's playful, has a killer hook and it's one of those pop songs that slaps a smile right on your miserable f*cking face. It's also got a doo doo doo bit in it. What's not to love?

Rated: New Tracks Coming Very Soon (Flojemi)

Florrie - Live A Little
It's been a long, slowly paced, journey for Florrie. She was the drummer for Xenomania, you know, that production monster behind pretty much every Girls Aloud song there is. She's had some decent tracks, one of the most pleasant being 'I Took A Little Something' which is a soft beat dance number, but now she's really ascerting her own style with 'Live A Little'. This has bags of energetic charm, from the catchy as hell lyrics to the rapid percussion/horn section on the chorus. If there's anyone who hasn't had much commercial success to date and deserves it, it's Florrie. Oh and she looks like a catwalk model minus the purge.
5/5

I love JW. Everyone knows this. I'm like one of those crazy fans who eats left overs from their idol's bin. Jessie, you should go for 'Double Decadence' next time you order Dominoes btw. Just sayin'. This is the first new track from the re-release of her smashing debut Devotion. Normally re-release songs are shit, but this isn't. In fact this is one of my favourite songs by JW to date. It's a refreshing increase in tempo, but the beats are still soft with a discohouse feel weaved into the production. This is how pop should be done.
5/5

She's never had any success over 'ere. However, she'd sold a hell of a lot of records in America and it's about time something happened in Blighty. Her appearance on the USA Xfactor last year raised her public profile a little and about time too. With songs like 'Give Your Heart A Break' and 'Skyscraper', we've been missing out. What's great about her is that it's 2013 and she isn't releasing dubstep infusion. She's sticking to pure pop music. "Heart Attack' wasn't a 5/5 when I first heard it and I still can't quite get there. It will no doubt be after repeated plays, but for now it'll have to settle for...
4/5

Rated I Took A Little Something

I don't know an awful lot about Florrie, other than she drummed for Xenomania and she's from Bristol. Oh, and that she does the cover of Blondie's 'Sunday Girl' in the cute new Nina Ricci advert. I caught her new single today, via popjustice.com and I am in love! Check it out below!
