I'm going to guess from the title that this song's about being a FRIGID BITCH

ANOTHER ONE in the canon then *.*

I love this, really fun record and sounds much more of a single than 'Let Me Down Gently'.

Still not entirely convinced it will be a massive hit, but hopefully it will be.

I prefer 'Let Me Down Gently' at the moment but this is good enough and will no doubt eat into my brain like everything else she's ever done.

Released June 29th so plenty of time for Radio 1 to hopefully get on board. Don't think it will be a big return for them commercially but i just want the album to be as strong as the debut and i'm confident it will be. Let the era properly start *.*

I always found La Roux quite intriging, but she has left it a number of years for a comeback though, but still this is a great tune and still love In It For The Kill and Bulletproof, hope she can make her mark again

it's a bit meh to these ears if i'm honest sad.gif i feel like i've heard a LOT of those elements before and not in a nostalgic way, but more in a 'you're a bit late to the party w/ this' way

Awful and cheap. Am I the only person hearing Bananarama?

it's nice enough for what it is but i don't think any la roux fan can honestly say this is what they wanted from her, let alone as a lead single.

it sort of suffers from the curse of its own delay. once again notorious polydor strike again, never happy with a final product until you see a delay such as this one and the zeitgeist has been and gone. is this even where elly's head is at musically now?

nonetheless, i remain upbeat about the album's potential.

Not a hit. I heard it on Radio 1 when it was Track Of The Day and was surprised when I found out it was her. I was hoping for something more distinct.
