Groove Armada - Paper Romance



After the slower 80s feel of first single 'I Won't Kneel', Groove Armada's second single from their sixth album, Black Light, has reminded people of what they do best – bloody good dance music. Although it doesn't quite add up to 'Song 4 Mutya' (and that's completely down to the ex-Sugababes' sultry vocals) it's a stomping tune, and should be on its way to dominating the dancefloor. A 'hands in the air' moment indeed, albiet slightly reminiscent of GaGa's "Bad Romance"
However, there are no 'm-m-m-m-mahs' or claws to be seen – thank God. A pretty solid re-introduction to what Groove Armada are all about. Strong enough to secure them some festival rotation this summer when you'll really be able to appreciate these carefree beats
