They're back!
After a long, long five year wait the coolest twins on the planet (yeah, that's right Olsen twins, up your game) The Veronicas have returned to the music scene with the first single from their third album Life On Mars. I have to admit I was a little concerned the girls would be abandoning the dance pop sound they perfected on Hook Me Up in favour of a more rock-tinged sound. Luckily for me, Lolita takes the frantic sound of Hook Me Up highlights Take Me On The Floor and the title track and makes it a whole lot darker and just a little fucked up.
Obsession, desperation and addictions, lyrically the song delves a little deeper into the girls' minds than their music has before (they recently admitted the song dealt with issues they had come up against in the music industry as young women). The song is a thumping club anthem, and by far the most dance-orientated sound The Veronicas have showcased. In fact, the song is so far removed from what I expected, I had to double check I wasn't listening to a remix of the song.
Still, it's a direction that suits them. The Veronicas' mix of raw lyrics and dancefloor ready production resulted in Hook Me Up being one of the best pop albums of the last few years and with Lolita as the trailer single, it will come as no surprise if Life On Mars solidifies their status as one of the most exciting pop acts around.
