Here’s a little secret about me.  Like Grace Jones, I am a slave to the rhythm.  If a song has one of four sounds, no matter who it is or how cheesy it is, I will love it.  And those sounds are:

1) Horns, Trumpets or any other Brassy Funkiness.
It’s the only reason I like songs by Gwen Stefani.
Evidence: Girls Aloud “The Promise”

2) Disco Laser “Pew Pews.”
Evidence: Róisín Murphy “You Know Me Better”

3) Electro-bot Echo Voice.
Evidence: Kylie Minogue “Magnetic Electric”

4) Stardusties.
Yep. I’m serious, if a song starts out with (or has as
their transition from bridge to chorus) a stardust glitter effect,
I’m hooked.
Evidence: Mariah Carey “Honey” (I told you it didn’t matter who it was)

There. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
Now we can move on.
