The infamously difficult to please Pitchfork has voted the Annie/Richard X track Songs Remind Me Of You at #64 in their Best Singles Of 2009!
And it goes:
Despite the awkward syntax of the title, “Songs Remind Me of You” finds Annie in tight control, sharpening her incalculable charm into the massive 1980s jam she had somehow never managed to tack onto her résumé. The cut reunites the canny Norwegian with British producer Richard X, architect of a boatload of UK dance pop hits in the last decade. While Annie may lack the go-getter appeal of some of the producer’s collaborators like Gwen Stefani or Sophie Ellis-Bextor (on the contrary, Annie prefers to bask in timeless melodies and classic turns of phrase), the bitter lament of “Songs” reminds us that when she bares her soul, it’s got fangs. –Mike Orme
