British Invasion 09

For me, British pop had been the second stage for world's international music. Last year I wrote a similar blog post introducing Adele, Duffy, Leona Lewis and Sharleen Spiteri. All except one (Sharleen) had made it big as follow up to 2007's Amy Winehouse. This year the trend told me that the blues, soul and Jazzs are taking a break from the mainstream scene. Taking over the chart by storm are the usual genres, pop. Big breaks emerge from dance tracks, electro pops, and so all co-related ones. Here I introducing a few of the interesting British acts/ Euro acts, are come taking the music blogs by storms in the e-world.

The Saturdays -Chasing Lights
A 2008 release, but reached our shores at 2009. They are a 5 sexy pieces of girl group. Scoring 4 top ten hits on UK singles charts with "If This Is Love", "Up", "Issue" & a charity COMIC RELIEF single "Just Can't Get Enough". Final single from Chasing Lights, "Work" might not be a top ten in UK, but already a fans' favourite here and internet.


These girls had been tipped as the next biggest girl group in UK, after Sugababes & Girls Aloud. If you wonder, 2 of them come from the S Club 8, a kids version of S Club 7. Currently working on a new album for the November release this year, sure you can see more of them in time to come.

Booty Luv-Say It
They are a duo dance group, but a strong R&B vocalist frontline, Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd. Rise to fame at 2006 by covering of Tweet's "Boogie 2Nite" into a club hit. More than 30 remixes are made upon them, and sending them to fame. The follow up hits like "Shine (originated by Luther Vandross)" and "Don't Mess With My Man(originated by Lucy's Pearl)". Their debut album "Boogie 2Nite" released at 2007. All made them a "club"-hold name around the world, throughout 2007 to 2008, adding with their own original release like "Some Kinda Rush" and "Dance Dance"

Upcoming release of their new album, starting out with the lastest single, Say It, which already heating up the club weeks before their official release dates.

Little Boots-Hands

Very new to me, but guess y'all already get to know her from MTV intros. Already a hot contender as UK's album of the year, she is 2009 stars to look out for. 'Hands' contains the hit single of "New In Town", a top 20 hit and a new single "Remedy". This is an electro-pop album and very much resemble to Goldfrapp meets Blur in a poppier manner.


Not to act professional, I am not very sure she will grow on me, but I am pretty sure upon my first listen, its an album that lasts repeated plays.
