TV Girl, “Girls Like Me.” A-side of an impending single from the San Diego duo. The melding of lifeless dance beats and matter-of-fact vocals seems rather old hat to me, but it’s obviously some kind of wide trend these days. This one has a few distinctions, though.
It’s got a drum beat opening that completely drags you in. The plaintive lyric—“a girl like me doesn’t even have to try”—is sung by a guy singing. At 2:36, it doesn’t overstay—which is really the only danger in dancebeats, that they go on too long.
