Oi Oi Oi! I KNEW I shouldn't have stopped on iTunes before going to bed. Especially on a Tuesday morning. Low and behold there were ALL sorts of British pop goodies to download. First and foremost, the lovely and talented KT Tunstall's new U.S. single, (which I mentioned in a previous post) "Fade Like A Shadow," comes out today. If THIS is another example of "Nature Techno" then bring it on! I like it! The single is a nice up-tempo pop rock jam with just a little sprinkle of electro. Still anxious to hear what her first UK single, "Glamour Puss" sounds like but this will suffice. Pick up the new KT Tunstall single on iTunes now.
ALSO out today on iTunes in America we have "Pack Up" by the equally amazing Eliza Doolittle. This was a bit unexpected, as I hadn't heard too much about Doolittle releasing her album stateside, other than a Tweet she sent me. The single became Doolittle's highest charting single to date in the UK where it peaked at #5 on the official singles chart. It's also the first track of Doolittle's to get remixed for the clubs (by Riva Starr, Analog People in a Digital World, etc.). The song is a light-weight and summery little diddy featuring a heavy sampling of the 1915 song "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag" in the chorus. Check out the video HERE and download the single on iTunes now.
FINALLY, U.S. fans of Marina & The Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, Pixie Lott, Kate Nash, Plan B, etc. can download EPs from this years iTunes 2010 Festival series. Still hoping they put up Diana Vickers' performance from the festival but I'll take live Ellie Goulding and Pixie Lott in the meantime. If you haven't seen Goulding's live performance at the festival, make sure you check it out here.
Good stuff indeed.
