MP3: Paris - Another Saturday night

I'm kind of surprised I don't hear more people talking about Paris. I'd figure that even the slightest PR push would ensure that their infectious Blondie-esque new-wave sound finds a ready and willing audience. It certainly doesn't hurt that the band is quite easy on the eyes as well. I know I've been a fan ever since I first heard them and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second album, the recently released "Secrets on tape". Granted, it's not much of a departure from the first record, but why complain? I'm always eager for more clever, catchy pop like this. Today's mp3 posting is one of the more upbeat, dance-friendly numbers. I just love the way that the verse slowly builds into that huge chorus. That little dip in the vocals just before everything opens up is just fantastic. You know exactly what's coming next, but the tension of those transition chords make it so much better. Beautifully done.
