Sly & RobbieSly & Robbie – Boops (Here To Go)

I saw the video for the new Robbie Williams single yesterday – it’s called Rudebox and is surprisingly good electro-pop that’s sure to be featuring on many a Ritzy dancefloor over the next couple of months.

Part of it’s goodness comes from completely ripping off the chorus of this 1987 hit for Sly & Robbie: I got one desire and that’s to dance until you drop is changed by Williams to I got one desire and that’s to funk until you drop – I bet that took him a while to come up with ;o)

Boops is surprisingly heavy for what is ostensibly an 80’s pop record, but don’t forget this is the mighty Sly & Robbie we’re talking about, the world’s premier rhythm section. The beat is as fat as you like, and the moody string stabs are worthy of any modern day R’n’B pop track.
