Song of the Week - Hands Up

I almost chose this as Song of the Week a while back, and I'm glad I didn't. The original version is great, but this version, with it's special guest singer, is even better. Everyone else may be getting tired of party songs, but this blogger says keep on bringing them to me -- I'll eat 'em up!

Electrovamp is a pop duo consisting of two sisters, Tammy-Jay and Kally, straight from the UK. They have popped up from time to time over the past few years, but now they are making a comeback, and teaming up with YouTube star Keenan Cahill is only showing that they are done messing around and ready to get their musical career back on track.

The song is a "screw the rules, let's party" style of song, and it keeps the listener singing along. Having a lot of reference to school and lacking alcohol name dropping, the song seems to be targeting a younger audience with it's lyrics, but that doesn't mean that it's a kid song by any means. The beats drive the song home, and the vocals, even from newcomer to the singing game Keenan, are spot on, creating a party song that you don't have to be wasted to connect to.

The new version of the song is available for preview and purchase on iTunes.
