He's got all the credentials (far too clever videos, sounds like Ari Up or Lene Lovich, this track is basically a note for note copy of "Ever Fallen In Love..."), but my poptimist sense just isn't tingling. Why? Why is that?

No one could be tasteless enough to enjoy this.

Not even you, Passantino.

1. Pitch correcting electronics
2. Kid is imitating records he've been told to imitate. Ari Up and Lene Lovich sang the way they wanted to sing.
3. Song is very bad indeed.

when i saw the posters for this i thought lil chris was chris brown's new moniker. i was sadly disappointed.

chris brown >>>>>>>>>> lil chris

no true poptimist would say otherwise

Videos set at idealised house parties = never not classic

Very sad http://www.popjustice.com/thenews/lil-chris-has-died/134718/

Gettin' Enough was an incredible single. Always liked how his voice reminded me so much of Lene Lovich.

Yeah, shocking news:

Back when, I was playing "I heard it through the Grapevine" The Slits in the car, both Amber and Alice thought it was Lil Chris.
