I quite like the new song allthough i prefer the 'snippet' of Limelight.
It's a bit of a 'grower' which improves with frequent listens.
So far, things for the whole album are looking pretty positive.

Like I and just about everyone else has said, the chorus part is a little too repetitious, but it is catchy. If the attent of this song was to target New York, it may have been a very smart move on her part. If she could come up with a really good video for this song, the main focus of which of course would be N. Y., I could definitely see a possible break through into the U.S. market. A couple of more lines in English would have helped in this regard. If it does get in to the U.S., Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" may have helped pave the way with it's inclusion of some French lyrics and coming out hot on the heels of that song could be perfect timing. With the Yankees winning the world series this past fall (darn it!), I see a lot of renewed pride in the displaying of NY colors abroad. I could just see a lot of people in NY singing that line "Never want to leave you", knowing it was about their city. It would even be very smart of her to use a clip of the Yankees in her video (Oh my God, what am I saying? Ted Williams please forgive me!)

Back in 2003, she was handicapped by a bad U.S.A. political climate (freedom fries) and the poor re-writing of her songs from French into English by MF, but now seems like the perfect time and if this song did catch on here, so many people would find out about her older songs. I think it's an exciting possiblity.

Hey, thanks for that. I didn't know that the full version was out there. I've been away for a few days.
I must admit it's even better in full.
It's very Little Boots and there is nothing wrong with that.
Roll on March. Did i mention that my birthday is the 28th March?
It'll be a nice present
