Bobby Baby
Loves to dance EP
Red Letter Day Records
If you've popped "Loves to dance" into your stereo hoping for a fevered romp around the kitchen, you will be sorely disappointed. Sweet young Malmö dreamer Ella Blixt is more Amelie than Annie. And the title song is more about love than dancing. But I'm not complaining. On the contrary! I do have a soft spot for dreamy pop and soothing sentiment, and this EP is big on both. It's the perfect accompaniment to a long, hot bath, or a lazy Sunday morning lie-in. Ironically, the tune most likely to get you bopping in your bubbles is "I won't dance with you baby tonight", while "Goodbye love" will have you crying into your comforter. Gorgeous, mellow electronic innocence, in an adorable pixie package. Mmm.
