Everything But The Girl – “Run A Red Light”
Everything But A Girl’s comeback album Fuse has thus far yielded the aerodynamic bangers “Nothing Left To Lose” and “Caution To The Wind.” Today they’ve given us something slightly different.

Drugdealer delivered just about the smoothest ’70s pop-rock pastiche imaginable with last year’s great Hiding In Plain Sight. Today they’ve followed up the album with another retro delight, a new single called “Lip Service.” The song begins with essentially a primitive version of the Cars’ “Just What I Needed” intro before segueing into some soulful […]
