This record has without a doubt been one of, if not the, most popular CD played at Crossfire HQ this year, and it’s not hard to see why this is the case.

From the first bleepy beat to the last “la la la”, it’s a fun filled electro diamond of an album. With many albums, you may get stuck on one track, liking it so much that you have to keep going back to it, but with this album from the Brazilian band, you can’t do that or else you’ll miss out on the next awesome track.

Alala is the catchy single and though it is simple, the chorus is literally just “alala”, it’s something that you won’t ever stop singing once you’ve heard it. Similarly the bouncy Alcohol, with its “hey hey hey hey HEY, do you wanna drink some alcohol?” imbeds itself in your head as soon as it begins.

The six piece, whose full name is Cansei De Ser Sexy, have crafted a pop-fuelled album full of little gems with some awesome titles – Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above, Art Bitch [where you are invited to suck the singer’s art hole] and Music Is My Hot Hot Sex. The bleeps and basslines carry every song through with their own electro-melody and Lovefoxxx’s voice can’t help but make you smile.

Go on, stick it on. I bet within 30 seconds you’ll be Alalal’ing your way through the day.
