Did someone slip The Ting Tings into the Justice's Christmas stocking? The French electronic duo are nothing if not unpredictable.
This time they employ the services of female vocalist Uffie who freestyle raps an intro accompanied by keyboards urging 'let's get this party started right, let’s get drunk and freaky-fried’. They are joined by pounding house rhythms not dis-similar to Daft Punk and well, Justice. Quel Suprise!
Like the Ting Tings, it is catchy and maybe even slightly annoying but as you would expect from Justice the whole thing is a lot harder edged and subversive, and all the cooler for it.
I love it, but not too much.
It is definitely worth a listen/watch: -
