Dragonette — Galore

This is what happens when a Canuck folk singer and electro artist — both toiling in the semi-obscurity — get married, move to the U.K., form a band and decide to go totally commercial while having as much fun as possible. Martina Sorbara reinvents herself as a naughty pop tart while hubby Dan Kurtz (The New Deal) along with Will Stapleton and Joel Stouffer, lay down dangerously catchy electro pop beats in the same vein as Gwen Stefani or "Toxic"-era Britney Spears with nods to '80s chart-toppers Pat Benatar and Olivia Newton-John. Dragonette's lyrics celebrate promiscuity and bad behaviour — the hallmark of any music that's fun to dance to. The undeniably addictive "Competition" will get even the most jaded of club-goers on the floor.
