My obsession with the upcoming Ballroom Remixed project continues! If you were listening to Sir Larry of the Flick today on Sirius OutQ's Morning Jolt show, you would have heard exclusive full length previews of BRR tracks by Simon Curtis, Neo, Elouise and Jeronimo (along with the Kyle track below). If you were tuning in, you will know that the Simon song is a mid-tempo pop extravaganza, Neo has a swirling disco epic, Elouise - a dramatic, theatrical, passion infused afrodisiac of a tune and Jeronimo has this cheeky little uptempo number that can't help but make you smile. All make you feel the music, make you have the urge to grab the one you love and shimmy! And you can buy them all on May 24th! How amazing. For now though, here is an exclusive preview of the brillopants new Kyle track...

Kyle Brylin already reached new levels of amazingness this year when he responded to my request to do a dude version of the Rihanna classic S&M. It became a bit of a viral hit, and quite rightly so as it showcased Mr. Brylin's voice nicely amidst a saucy, throbbing synth beat. Now he has a brand new track on Ballroom Remixed with the impossibly brilliant title of "I'm A Man (Not A Piece of Meat). The title alone is quite spectacular, even though it makes me feel ever so guilty as I may have pointed out how lovely Kyle is in previous music reviews. Oops :P Anyway, the song has a persistent rhythm that reminds of some classic Erasure tunes and is paired with an addictive drum beat that propels the track forward. Match that with some wickedly insightful lyrics ("You stare me down and size me up/As if I'm going to strip/As if you stare hard enough/My pants become unzipped") and a sultry vocal performance from Kyle, and you have a winningly camp piece of music that surely will become an instant classic. Kyle may be imploring you to consider his inner worth but his "come on now" and integral panting give you the impression that he doesn't mind the odd undressing with your eyeballs. Can totally see Kyle performing this on So You Think You Can Dance surrounded by buff AussieBum-esque models doing some brilliantly inventive dance routine in the background. In their undies. magnificent!! Be sure to follow Kyle on twitter and purchase Ballroom Remixed on May 24th :)



BTW! (By the way, not born this way)! If you are quite up for an up jump the boogie while listening to great pop songs, you could do far worse than enter a competition to win VIP tickets to Capital FM Summertime Ball :) How amazing! To enter the competition you need to join the Summer Time Ball roadtrip and answer daily pop related questions. Get an answer right, you move forward. Get an answer wrong, you move back! It's like a music related snakes and ladders :) You can also get accelerator codes from Capital FM by keeping an eye on their social network links such as twitter :) There are also random prizes including vouchers for my beloved Starbucks! Hurrah! I've joined the Capital Birmingham queue to try and win myself some red carpet treatment :) Who knows - we could be shimmying along to summer sounds together. Imagine!!
