Phoenix
Ti Amo
[Loyaute/Glassnote/Atlantic Records]
Fresh lemonade, affairs with au pairs, shades and swimwear – the hallmarks of all our summers right? Phoenix perpetually evoke youthful nostalgia, the shimmer of sun and carefree lives.
Ti Amo continues this speedboat and jet-ski pop. Lead single J-Boy is as refreshing as first sip from a can of Lilt. Goodbye Soleil is another flirtatious charmer.
They are part Gallic Duran Duran. But remember this will be sadly be just a summer romance.
It will fade in time and you may not even scrapbook it.
But savour it for what it is now and don’t let your parents catch you.
Words – Michael McDermott
