Song of the Day - Video (Voyeur) Killed the Radio Star

Today's song of the day comes from Lovestarrs, formerly known as The Good Natured, who are an English indie-pop band. They first came to my attention when they supported Imagine Dragons on their UK tour a few years ago. They were a very decent live band, full of energy and intensity, so I decided to check them out. They have released two EP's but as of yet have not released a full length album.

This is Video Voyeur:

So What's So Good?

It's quite rare that I find a female singer whose voice I really enjoy listening to (I'm not really sure why) but Sarah McIntosh has a really different voice. It could fit into a punk rock band, but it doesn't feel out of place in an indie band. It's quite bizarre. She has a voice that most people will enjoy listening to though, whereas a lot of distinctive voices are a bit more marmite.

Video Voyeur is insanely catchy, with a synth-driven chorus that is instantly memorable. You'll feel yourself  tapping your feet or singing along before the end of the song even if you don't particularly like it. Be careful singing it though; it's lyrically a little creepy. There's a reason it's called Video Voyeur - you don't want to be telling friends that "you will follow them wherever they go", especially not "naked in the dead of night".

Video Voyeur is a creepy song hidden beneath layers of infectious synth-pop and impressive vocals. Lovestarrs/The Good Natured have a strange universal appeal, despite being such a unique band.
