Approved: Florrie – Call 911 (Fred Falke Remix)
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 11 February 2010
You’ve already heard 21 year old singer-songwriter Florrie Arnold on tracks like Girls Aloud’s ‘The Promise’ and Alesha Dixon’s ‘The Boy Does Nothing’, it’s just that it was as the drummer in Xenomania’s house band, JFK. But now she’s stepping up front herself. The first sniff of her own songs arrived as a free download via her website yesterday with a Fred Falke remix of a track called ‘Call 911’.
Obviously, it’s difficult to judge a new pop star on one remix (well, we have heard another half-finished demo, but let’s just stick with complete tracks for now), but that Xenomania stamp shines through clearly underneath Falke’s jiggery pokery. Her vocals are good, too. Strong without too much affectation, and with a similar tone to that of Little Boots. In the unlikely event that she turns out to be one of the production team’s few misfires, this track is certainly a keeper.
