The sun touches my skin, but I'm freezing within

Belgian group Milk Inc. have a discography running from 1996 to today. They've had a number of changes of singer, but current singer Linda Mertens has held the spot for more than half of the group's lifespan. Their albums tend to launch loads of singles--their most recent album, Supersized, is on its sixth single. In regards to style, think dance, usually house-influenced (maybe trance-influenced? I don't know my different types of electronica). However, on their best songs, they manage to keep that style but mix it with a little pop--today's song is a case in point.

Run--the album's lead song (though not lead single), and a great choice in that respect, catchy, up-tempo, and entrancing. The piano (or piano-like) part running throughout the song grounds it, makes it seem less aloof and emotionless. That's not to say the song is suddenly warm or overrunning with emotion; rather, you can now appreciate the melody more than you might otherwise be able to. The fade-out at the end is lovely.

To buy Milk Inc.'s album Supersized, go here (physical) or here (digital).

(P.S. I think Jessica Poptastic likes Milk Inc. as well--you can read her [much earlier than mine] posts on them here.)

Next up: the Melodifestivalen final! I'm so excited!
