The Ting Tings , We Started Nothing
THE Ting TINGSWe Started Zip (Sony BMG)Paygrade: * * * *Verdict: A office pop twosome headed for big tings.Three songs into We Started Null, and you can't avail but feel you power birth heard this record before. The schoolyard chant of That's Not My Mention and the nonsensical lyrics of Fruit Simple machine are rather reminiscent of The Kills latest album, Midnight Boom. Combined with The Ting Tings two-person line up - comprising Jules de Martino and frontwoman Katie Whiteness - single suspects the band mightiness be being pushed as an upbeat Britt rendering of the sultry Anglo-American duet. Simply as the whimsical strings of Dealings Light start, T. H. White reveals how sweetness and refined her spokesperson can be, on a delightful fairground turn on of a song that would never clear Alison Mosshart's lips. Close Up and Let Me Go ventures into soul-funk territory, in front White breaks come out a sassy Blondie tribute, speech production the lyrics on Split Her to Shreds in the saame bratty banter manner Blondie once did.
E. B. White draws inspiration from another icon on We Started Null, as she perfectly pitches her voice to sound like Prince, accompanied by a jazzy brass segment.From romantic melodies and soaring string section to chopping guitars and primal beat generation, We Started Null is a fun, adventurous journey of power pop.
