There is nothing very Christmassy or even New Yearesque about this post but it concerns a great electronic pop tune from a couple of months ago. It has something in common with Mini Viva's 'One Touch' in that we totally forgot to put it in our end-of-year singles roundup but we did want to make sure it was mentioned before the year was finished.
Basically it's a tune called 'Beats Of Love' by Villa feat The New Sins and we fell minorly but still significantly in love with the song the first time we heard it.
Perhaps you will too.
