So I don't know how many of you listen to The Pipettes, but I discovered them a few years ago and immediately fell in love with their music. The Pipettes consisted [notice the past tense] of Gwenno, RiotBecki, and Rosay. They were an awesome trio with great, catchy songs from the UK. However, recently RiotBecki and Rosay have left The Pipettes to 'pursue other music careers,' leaving Gwenno by herself, great. Now, apparently they've found 2 new members, but when I watched the music video for their brand new release, there were only 2 people...? So I'm not sure if The Pipettes are now 2 or 3. Either way, their new song is definitely a very different sound and I'm not sure if I like it as much. They were so poppy and catchy and fun before, now their sound is...I don't know, I feel like it's trying too hard. There's a part of the song when they heavily you a synthesizer, and I find it to be more annoying than anything. And the song is a little weird for me, the title is: Our Love Was Saved by a Spaceman. interesting choice. Call me stubborn, but I definitely miss the old sound - although I know it won't be made again since the original members are no longer a part of The Pipettes.
Anyway, this whole Pipettes raid started because I heard one of their old songs today when I was working and I remembered how much I loved them! I think you should check out their old stuff - and their new stuff, too, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I do.
