Little Boots - Taste It

For those who have dismissed Little Boots for sounding a little too retro-synth (LP1) or 90's dance influenced (LP2) think again. For new tune Taste It, from a forthcoming EP Business Pleasure, (we’re liking the pin striped power dressing going on here in the press shot to accompany the EP’s title) is a decidedly modern beats and bass led track, that if it had been released by Grimes (at a push we'd say there’s a bit of a similarity in some of the background ‘ahhh-ahhh’ vocal delivery) would have quite possibly had the internet salivating like a rabid dog. 

However, Little Boots is in arguably a much better place now, with less heavy expectation and hype placed on her shoulders and much more control of her output. The disappointing thing about the fact that she’s no longer the slave of a major record label is that there's less chance of a full Little Boots UK tour, but we live in hope. Come on Victoria, a Portsmouth or Brighton show would be lovely, you could even come to our house for tea if you’re a bit skint and hungry. In the meantime we’ll happily settle for you singing food similes rather than eating the stuff: “Can you taste it on your lips like liquorice? Do want some more so bittersweet?” It sounds like whoever she's singing about might be going back for more....
