Now don't get me wrong, there is alot of music that is just utter rubbish out there in the Top 40; and personally, the only thing that makes me like a pop song from the beginning is, if it has a catchy beat.
And here is no exception, with the release of Nicola Robert's single 'Beat Of My Drum'; notably, her first solo effort after being apart of the British girl band, Girls Aloud.
If you have a vague idea of who Girls Aloud are, then you might know they are probably one of the most successful girls bands to come out of Britain; well apart from the Spice Girls.
And with over 20 singles reaching the Top 10 in Britain, including four #1's, the singers have established themselves as credible pop stars with actual real, un-autotuned voices.
So, the first time I heard 'Beat of My Drum', there were definately some 'what the hell is this?!' type moments. But after listening to the song a few more times, I cannot get the song out of my head. Even with it being the second song in as many months sampling Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor', the beat differs to that of Beyonce's 'Run The World', which makes the beat a major part of the song.
The chant like chorus of 'L.O.V.E' is the main thing that gets you in this song; but the marching band beat in the bridge is just as amazing.
