Hands; Little Boots

English singer/songwriter Little Boots released her debut album Hands in 2009. The album contains a is a complete dance pop record with a flair of synth and electro. Heralded as the Future of Music, Little Boots did an amazing job with her debut. Penning down every track off the record either on her own or in collaboration with a song-writer. The final song cut revealed a list of the most radio ready tracks ever that will can be played at a club, party or right in your own car.

The track listing for the record is as follows;

1. New In Town
2. Earthquake
3. Stuck On Repeat
4. Click
5. Remedy
6. Meddle
7. Ghost
8. Mathematics
9. Symmetry ft. Philip Oakey
10. Tune into My Heart
11. Hearts Collide
12. No Brakes

While all the tracks are good to listen to, there are some clear stand-out from the pack. 'Remedy' which has the genius touch of the RedOne is quite possibly the best track off the record. It's super catchy and it's got that subtle fighting spirit that is so notable in Little Boots' interviews. It'a a must listen according to me.

Other favorites of mine include the fast-paced 'New In Town' and the duet with Philip Oakey 'Symmetry'. The latter is a definite recommendation. I'm very surprised that this song was not chosen as a single, it is probably one of the most authentic tracks on the albums. Little Boots has done an amazing job at the lyrics along with Roy Kerr. Roy is known for penning several tracks of Lady Hawke's debut album Paris is Burning and Christina Aguilera pop-smash 'Genie In a Bottle'. 'Symmetry' is definitely worth listening to, guys!

'Meddle', 'Ghost', 'Mathematics' and 'Tune Into My Heart' are other favorites of mine. I'm sort of surprised that I like the second half of the record more than the first half. 'Click' and 'Stuck On Repeat' do absolutely nothing for me. 

'Hearts Collide' will literally put you into a trance. It's ridiculously smooth flowing and will slither into your memory. It was a possible single, until recently. Little Boots will be releasing Hands in US in March 2010 and possibly tour along with the UK boy-band JLS. But the tour is still in the works.
