What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our BRIAN D feeling unmoved.

Annie is back. The Norwegian honey who just begs to be plastered all over adolescent walls worldwide reckons 'I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me'. I say this is narcissism in effect, she either has a great sense of irony or really is one vain old bugger. It's gyrating, funky disco-electro pop for teenagers and frustrated men is this, more akin to 'The Greatest hit' than the absolute GENIUS that was 'Chewing Gum'. It's good pop ala Kylie but the multitude of tedious remixes just dilute a winning formula, her cutie vocals over a lively radio smash. If you dig the Sc ando-babe already then you'll no doubt be creaming yrs en to bag this. If you like Prurient you'll possibly be cutting your ears off with a freshly sharpened machete.

What the label says:

Norwegian Cool-Pop postergirl ANNIE throws down her brand new single ‘I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me’. A fantastic slice of electro-nuwave-pop excitement ‘I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me’ puts Annie right at the forefront of 2008’s brilliantly varied musical landscape and sounds both immediately listenable and utterly beguiling, mainstream and underground all at once.

With its playground chant of “I know your girlfriend hates me, I see it in her eyes”, whip-cracking sound effects and a ludicrous ice cream van outro ‘I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me’ is destined to be the pop sound of Spring/Summer 2008.

I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me’, is a brilliant refresher course in everything that was great about the last album (Anniemal, 2004 with it’s hits ‘Chewing Gum’ and ‘Heartbeat’) and a tantalising glimpse at some of what’s great about the new one.

The single sees Annie reunited with Timo Kaukolampi and Richard X - collaborators from the first album – and introduces new friends Xenomania seeing Annie make perfect sense of pop’s brilliant extremes; from Popjustice to Pitchfork

So this is Annie: a singer songwriter without an acoustic guitar, a chart-friendly singer with her own finger on pop’s throbbing pulse, so comfortable in her independence that she’ll assemble her own rolecall of collaborators and partners in crime. Prepare to thrill!

Single is available as digi cd with 6 remixes, video and photo gallery and as a white 7” wrapped in foldout poster with exclusive b side Danny, Danny.

Remixes include Richard X, Get Shakes, Soul Seekerz, Timo, Deadly Weapons and Feadz
