After being featured as “One of the best new bands 2009” by The Guardian and their previous single “Bullet proof” hitting the chart at number 1, there have been high expectations for the bands 4th single. “Bulletproof” was always going to be a tough act to follow and “I‘m not your toy” has not been as well received as hoped, although sticking the theme of the album of “teenage love” there are other songs e.g. “Tigerlily” which would have been a better option for release as a single. With its repetitive chorus the single has not made as much of an impact as “In for the kill” or “Bulletproof”, however, although the single is currently only at number 27 in the charts it does have some redeeming features including a very catchy pre-chorus which makes the song a “grower” and hopefully the synth-pop band will be back on track with the release of their next single.
