Very good, there are a lot of decent clips on YouTube of her doing similar things. Unfortunately the record is overproduced and not anywhere near as quirky, though perfectly listenable.

Here she is doing a Hot Chip cover using just the Tenorion:

Thanks Andrew - she does a similar thing here

She seems fairly pleasant too. Not what you'd expect from a hugely hyped electro type

She will end up as a songwriter/producer for pop acts, rather than as a star in her own right.

Along with Ladyhawke she's the pick of the recent pletora of emerging female singers

Not sure it'll ever become a regularly used instrument but it's a gas to tinker with.

She reminds me of Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, sauciest of all politicians.

"sauciest of all politicians"

You might want to investigate Second Person. This may sound like a PR shot disguised as a fan's enthusiasm, so allow me to elaborate. Back when the beloved Kashmir Klub was in its prime, one of its most intriguing performers was an 18 year old singer/songwriter/pianist called Julia Johnson. She was obviously very talented, one of her projects including co-writing a musical about Trotsky called A Young Man With Conjunctivitis. It was very good. She then went off to read Classics at Oxford, before forming Second Person. To these ears, it sounds like they were doing the sort of thing Little Boots is doing, only 4 or 5 years ago, and with better songs and a better singer. And here they are...

She has certainly piqued my interest. Going to make a point of checking her out at Latitude. I agree that the album sounds a bit over done in parts but I like it nonetheless.

Never paid her that much attention before, as l have an irrational hatred for anyone called Victoria (class war etc).l must admit though, the morning TV clip was class (music not war) Damn!!

I do love her. Smashing little pop star. Decent performance at Glastonbury as well, probably still on the BBC website's Glastonbury highlights. Best thing to come out of Blackpool since Chris Lowe!

And tomorrow's Friday so she'll be on breakfast. Hurrah!

She actually lives a couple of doors down from some friends of ours in Balham. I might have to go to see them again.

She puts on a decent show, for sure, and can sing without the aid of autotune. But... she does look rather uncomfortable. Suspect she would rather be geeking around with keyboards.

is the fact that although they have been hyped they've both managed to stamp their individuality and personality into the mix and - Little Boots in particular - don't look like they're peddling some kind of lifestyle choice or "message in the music" that normally afflicts acts who are presented to us on a plate as the "next big thing". There is also something endearingly geeky about both of them which I find attractive.

Dare I say it but they just remind me of the old days when you could enjoy pop music without the remotest hint of irony or feeling like you had to justify yourself for liking it or apologise to the attendant masses for slipping something onto the CD player that isn't achingly obscure or self-consciously outré.

As a convenient short-hand they appear to be more the legacy of Goldfrapp than the legacy of Madonna, if that makes sense.

...what she might do with a Reactable:

I just hope she survives all the current hype surrounding her, and maybe she should seize control and produce her own album next time? God knows, she's comfortable enough with technology, a decent enough songwriter, and sufficiently in charge of her own image to Do A Kate Bush.
