[MP3]: The Young Playthings :: Life is Great (w/ Rose from The Pipettes!)
I really enjoy this song, because while I love her in The Pipettes setting, Rose's voice seems to take a bit of a backseat a lot of times and it's a shame because she has a really great voice. Unfortunately, while the vocals might be fantastic, the music, isn't really anything to write home about. It's not bad, but it just feels like some typical power-pop melodies that are just there to support the vocals, they don't really do anything too exciting in their own right, that is, until the end. The ending rises almost out of nowhere taking a line from A.C. Newman with some bright shining guitar squeeling overtop Rose's wonderful delivery.
