Thom Yorke has compared writing for Hot Chocolate’s new album to that on ‘Girl Crazy’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Hot Chocolate on ‘So You Win Again’. For older fans Girl Crazy will put a massive smile accross your face. If you want to hear real Dance, get this record now!
This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. This is one hell of a track. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Man To Man - My least favorite song on this album. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Tears On The Telephone, which shows, blatantly, how much Hot Chocolate has evolved as a singer. A Child’s Prayer is one of the coolest songs Hot Chocolate has ever recorded. Strong, powerful vocals of Hot Chocolate in Girl Crazy are very impressive. After about the third Sexy Caribbean Girl listen through, I began to believe this song is Hot Chocolate’s essence. I came to like Cicero Park. Opening track What Kinda Boy You’re Lookin’ For (Girl) shows the best of Hot Chocolate. This track is clearly meant to showcase Hot Chocolate’s vocal abilities. Every 1’s A Winner is astounding. Mindless Boogie - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Girl Crazy. Some of the arrangements found on Girl Crazy are surprisingly edgy.
