“New In Town” is, indeed, Little Boots’ third single off her as-of-yet unreleased and untitled debut album. This new single, marking Little Boots’ first CD single release, was ushered in and hyped up by two remixes by Drop the Lime and the WOW-enducing Fred Falke, but thanks to loyal reader Keso, I now have the full version of “New In Town” as well as a rough mix of another new song, “Click.”
What is it that they say? Third time’s a charm? Little Boot’s “New In Town” is just that, the charming third single that will recruit the non-fans. The Royksopp-like first single, “Stuck on Repeat” has this fantastic 2 minute intro that leads into unneeded vocals. This song would have hit just as hard if Little Boots got on the mic or not. That alone is enough to throw some people off the Little Boots band wagon.
Little Boot’s second single, “Meddle” was a lot more casual listener-friendly, and didn’t require you to to be a sweaty hipster with a couple of worn-out glowsticks in hand for you to enjoy it. The problem some people had with “Meddle” was that it sounded a lot like fellow Brits, the Ting Tings, who are far more popular., and their hit song “That’s Not My Name.”
In “New In Town,” Little Boots finds a a middle ground between Royksopp and the Ting Tings: Riosin Murphy! If you think about it this way, Little Boots is one of the most time effective artists out there today. In just three songs, you feel like you’ve heard best of’s of three of your favorite artists. If you’re short on time, like I am, you’d see that Little Boots is a Godsend.
UPDATE: Little Boots’ management have kindly asked me to take both of these tracks down.

She sounds a hell of a lot like Goldfrapp and Roisin Murphy on “New In Town.” Not that that’s a bad thing. I guess everyone sounds like someone else to me these days.
Duuude New in Town is a sick track, I don’t know what the haters are thinking.
Lovin LB!
click is easily one of her best songs
oh wow the actual version of new in town isn’t really good at all… far too slow
ill stick with the fred falke mix and meddle
that’s little boots for me
Wow. Never thought I would be mentioned on your blog
thanks Luis! And you’re welcome!
I really love Little Boots, looked up all of her tracks and mixtapes on the net ^^ but aren’t “Every Little Earthquake” a potential single for her upcoming debut album?
All three songs are great, but my favorite is still “Meddle”, I even think that the Designer Drugs remix of the Meddle is the best thing with words “Little Boots” in it.
Thanks for the new song Luis.
