POP GALS: parade - perfume

parade - perfume
[girl group parade return with their follow up single to the wonderful top 10 hit 'louder'. as usual the track is catchy and pleasant, but my only hope is that i wish their arrangements could have just had a little bit more 'umph' to it (like the saturdays current single). i'm still in though!]

WONGIE GIRL BAND SONG OF THE WEEK: parade - louder

parade - louder
[i'm like a moth to a flame when it comes to girl bands, so when i read that there's a new one in the horizon named parade, i just had to give them a listen (and boy what a happy camper i am because of it!) using all the pop songwriting tricks in the book (group singalong chorus! funky electric boogaloo groove that shows up unexpectantly! retro 60's piano chords!), i can only look forward to more pop gems from this quintet (though can somebody fire the stylist cause really, 'more' isn't necessarily good!). welcome to the pop world ladies!]
