Several other blogs have already written about German singer Sarah Connor's (best known in the U.S. for "Bounce," her Mary J. Blige "Family Affair"-sampling single) latest lead single, "Under My Skin," on which she finally moved away from the soul she's been big on lately and replaced it with throbbing electro-pop, so let's skip over that for the moment. I'm not going to vouch for the whole album, but there's at least one song on it that I think is at least as good as "Under My Skin."
See You Later--as I said, I think this is at least as good as "Under My Skin," but, despite the fact that it fits well with "Under My Skin"--it has a similar electro-pop sound--it's got a bit of a different feel to it; less of that deep grinding electro underneath and more of a "medium" level of electro...which means it's also a little more on the "just pop" side. "See You Later" is a great catchy up-tempo pop song not afraid of a little attitude, as well as a song that I think is good enough to have been on the album of multiple more "international" artists.
To buy Sarah Connor's 2008 album Sexy As Hell (that title, I know, right?), go here (physical).
Next up: maybe that demos post, finally.

I'm addicted to Under My Skin and Touch o/
Hi, Mari-Jean! Good to see you again :D I'm glad she's finally stopped doing covers of old soul songs.
Hmm... I love Bounce - and Electro-pop, I'm very interested!!!.
Ditto on both counts! You Don't Know Pop and Pop Unlimited both featured "Under My Skin"--you might like it, definitely look it up if you've got time!
