What more can I say about The Pipettes. They are absolutely fun, basically Grease style music. The Pipettes consist of RiotBecki, Gwenno, and Rosay. Their shows consist of simple choreography, polka dot dresses and good fun. The lyrics are genuine, not corny, but mature with that great 50's-60's style of music. Because of this, I'm going to make lots of references to pop, and the lovely doo-woopish age. But, these three girls are kick ass, know their pop and the first single proves it so...

... "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" is the first single, and a standout track giving you a great view on how the whole cd will sound like. With a great bass line and the chant that Avril Lavigne stole what could go wrong? nothing! in fact there is the perfect key change at the end just to really top it off with a cherry on top. "Judy" is personally one of my favorites. Its quinessential slow 60's pop. "Sex" seems to showcase the best of pop and the 50 and 60s. With it Oh's and Ah's and amazing harmonies it really is fantastic pop. "Pull Shapes" is another song like Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me that is very fun, upbeat and has a great chant. The harmonizing on this song is key and the orchestra at the end is fantastic. Any fan of "On the boardwalk" will enjoy "Because It's not Love" as the bassline is so reminiscent of it. It then kicks into another damn catchy chorus.

 Honestly, all these songs are fantastic, and genuine 50s-60's pop. I could do every track and how great each one is, but they all would just be labelled as 50/60's pop. This cd puts me in such a good mood. It's pop at its finest, and done perfectly. There is not a moment on this cd where I drift away, or fall asleep. I'm constantly dragged in to their beautiful harmonies, and good fun music. Try this cd please, because these girls deserve a spin or 2 and you'll have fun living a great style from our music past.
