Sarah Nixey - Strangelove

Following the download-only release of her debut single The Collector, sometime Black Box Recorder chanteuse Sarah Nixey's first full solo release is something altogether poppier.

Strangelove has the lot - quirky electropop synth parts, her trademark enunciated whispers, and an infectious chorus.

Lyrically, Strangelove doesn't quite match The Collector, and the whole thing runs out of steam after three minutes, with the next minute consisting of the chorus repeated. But it's still stronger than much of Alison Goldfrapp's lyrical output, and she's hardly been held back by such quibbles.
