Here playing it with her Tenori-on...
I do quite like her but I'm a bit underwhelmed by this cover.
I'm a bit underwhelmed by her in general. Dunno what all the fuss is about.Still, isn't she doing Glastonbury? Might try and catch her set on the telly if she is and see if she changes my mind. I like the sounds she creates on her little toy on this one but the vocals do nothing for me. Bit of an obvious cover really too
Thats probably as bad as it gets. Sounds like the sort of voice you might imagine your hairdresser to have.![]()
I was listening to her album on I-tunes last night.Electro tickles my fancy,but it seemed a bit samey to me.I DO like NEW IN TOWN (Bimbo Jones remix) though!!
PS I want that gadget! How the fook does it work?

Sorry, but that's shit. And I don't believe she's playing the whole thing on that toy.
You can find simulators for it all over the internet. There's one at lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
EDIT: Stuck on Repeat is a cracking track though.
she's not 'playing' it. she would appear to have pre-programmed a bunch of patterns and then just selects the pattern change at the appropriate time. she always starts the songs with a little pretend build up of button pressing to make it look like she's working an instrument. it leaves me a bit cold this. these covers can be a bit samey and lacklustre. if the tenori-on didn't have flashing lights and was just a black rectangle like every other sequencer then we'd see it for the musical limitations it has. having seen LB do a few of these tenori-on covers it feels more like an affectation or marketing ploy than a musical pursuit. I prefer the drums and piano interpretations. they are fun, foolish & ill-advised. less about niche-ing herself and more about enjoying the interplay between 'artist' and 'audience'
sorry - I swallowed a whole morleypill this morning
Little Boots? I would! ![]()
I have absolutely no idea what she sounds like though. And no soundcards at work so I ain't gonna find out today either.![]()
Phil Oakey joined her on stage at Heaven last week. He was wearing a very nice charcoal fitted suit. They do a duet on the album.
