Cajun Dance Party – Amylase
This song is deceptive. I caught the end of it on the radio and quite liking it I jubilated at finally ‘getting’ Cajun Dance Party. Sadly it was still not to be, as I listened to the rest and the song revealed the full extent of its rubbishness. This band make me feel old, not just because they’re younger than me, but because they are supposedly all the range with teenagers and I don’t get it at all. Now I’m turning into someone who needs to ask younger people about new music trends in order to understand them, and I know from being that younger person that you can never really convey teenage musical reasoning, so this could be the beginning of me being shut out from that secret teenage knowledge for the rest of my life. I do turn 20 this year, after all…

Sean Kingston – Beautiful Girls
I feel that I should hate this song (mostly cos the first time I heard it I thought it was the Black Eyed Peas) but instead I love it. It really is extremely catchy and summery. I’ll never say it’s a good song but it reminds me of lots of past novelty hits, it’s completely got that feel to it and he’s a suitably unlikely popstar (a rather chubby 17 year old). He’s like a 2007 answer to Shaggy! I doubt that Sean is going to have a huge career – I expect he’ll release an album, a follow-up single that sounds just like this with different lyrics, and slowly fade back into obscurity. Let’s hope he does it with grace and doesn’t embarrass himself on the way down. For now he should make the most of his success while it lasts.
