‘Left My Heart In Tokyo’ is the debut single from Xenomania’s new act Mini Viva. They’re 2 girls – Frankee Connolly and Britt Love – who captured the attention of the Xeno crew last year when the Fred Falke remixes of this song started doing the rounds. Since then the girls have been working with the like of Miranda Cooper and Norwegian sensation Annie.
This song is what you might call ‘quality pop music’, the sort of stuff Girls Aloud turn out for 3 out of every 4 singles. In my mind it’s what Madison Avenue’s ‘Don’t Call Me Baby’ might have sounded like 10 years on, only a bit better. I would go as far as to say I love this song.
The single is out on 7th September. Mixes by Fred Falke, Acid Girls and Treasure Fingers are floating around online.

Sky have won the rights to screen the recent Girls Aloud tour. They’ll be screening the sellout Out Of Control show filmed at London’s O2 Arena last month in August. It will be shown on Sky1 and Sky1 HD. A DVD and Blu Ray release will follow later in the year.
Amazon made a huge blunder yesterday and ended up selling full albums on their mp3 site for just 29p. It included titles by Kings of Leon and Lily Allen. Bargain hunters swooped after tip offs appeared on a number of consumer sites. The mistake wasn’t fixed for 4 hours raising concerns it could impact on this week’s chart.
Britney Spears angered fans last night by walking on stage in Manchester, that’s Man-ches-ter, and yelling ‘What’s Up London!?’ – oops. Despite driving 200 miles to get there it was clear she had absolutely no idea where she was. Perhaps it was the McDonalds she picked up from a suburban branch in London on her way to the gig.
In other Britney news.. …despite reports in most of the papers this morning. She is not engaged to her agent.
And.. …Elly Jackson from La Roux has defended the duo’s music, saying ‘it’s just pop music’ and dismissed claims their sound is an ‘unreconstructed throwback to the 80s’ – read the full interview at The Quietus.
