Album Review

Lucy Love – Thunder

• 4th Aug 2011

Taken from upcoming album, ‘Kilo’, Lucy Love will be releasing dance track ‘Thunder’ through her very own label Superbillion Records. Hailing from Denmark, Lucy Love has sonically honed a very UK-friendly sound that will very easily hold tightly within your subconscious.

Darker than your average club tune, ‘Thunder’ is sleekly produced and echoes the ever-evolving UK dance genre. There are deep influences from underground sub-genres like D&B and IDM.

Alongside the murky original version and the euphoric radio edit of ‘Thunder’, this single is additionally remixed by:

Lydby remix raises the tempo and Lucy Love’s vocals sound very similar to that of Alesha Dixon from her Misteeq days as a MC and make the dark and eeriness of ‘Thunder’ more upbeat.

Dolmen D&B remix builds the track sinisterly and drops bass like a slap in the face!

Dirtysnaps remix takes ‘Thunder’ to a grimy dub bassline level. Intelligent and infused with unpredictable samples and by far the best remix.

OK Formula Vocal Special has dancefloor all over it. It bounces with the listener and has the vocals re-worked to sound like something you did not quite expect. It sounds good though.

Atle & Rodsten Serious mix is a long loop over minimal and prolonged beats.

Morphase has gone for an intense trance sound that pounds this song out as a full-on rave hit.
