Dragonette weren't bad. I don't think they had the wherewithal to get the best out of Martina Sorbara though. She always came across as a really good pop star in need of better collaborators.

I've been enjoying "Hello" for months but I had no clue who was responsible for it.
yeah, i was half amazed that there wasn't already a solveig/dragonette thread. "hello" came out early last year and was apparently a massive international smash. "number one in Austria, Belgium Flanders, Czech Republic and the Netherlands", or so wikipedia tells me. "featured in 90210,[1] The Vampire Diaries,[2] and Gossip Girl.[3]" looking good, mr. solveig.
Hello's great. The album doesn't have anything close to matching it, unfortunately.
yeah, that's my impression, though i haven't heard the whole thing. "big in japan" is a decent runner-up, but a maybe a little too knowingly kitschy? the dragonette/solveig pairing somewhat reminds me of "yours to keep" by paola w teddybears (née STKHLM) from a few years back. chipmunk-pitched candy pop that feels like a slightly ironic toy-size version of "the real thing", whatever that might mean...
anyway, "hello" is great. love the way the helium balloon vocals float over the chunky, strobing synths. gets played out quick, but disposability is half the fun.

would have voted for "hello" in tracks. if anyone had nominated it. and if, you know, i voted in tracks. no less deserving than "party rock anthem" imo.

Dragonette fault was less collaborators than quality control. I Get Around was infectious, but the two albums were very hit n' miss.

It is hilarious that ILM has barely any posts about that song. It still gets played loud in my house from time to time. Came out right after our kid was born.
