The Veronicas - Lolita

The Australian twin sisters are back with their highly anticipated new single. The Dance-oriented track features a hard thumping beat reminiscent of the Eurodance of the 90s coupled with a bit of dubstep electro. Vocally and lyrically, this doesn't deviate much from their usual but it's nice to hear after so long. The main version feels a bit shorter than it should be. It leaves one wanting more. Hopefully this is indicative of their upcoming third album. This should be another big hit for the ladies.

The Veronicas - Hook Me Up

After a false start in the U.S., the Pop/Rock group is back with a new single hoping to conquer the music world. "Hook Me Up" is a Dance-oriented Rock track. This thumping track is quite enjoyable. And the chorus is totally infectious. It's hard to not want to sing along. The instrumental production is thick and synthy with hard guitars and a not-so-well-hidden "Tainted Love" sample is present. Overall, this is a great track to get noticed with. While prior singles including "4Ever" and "Everything I'm Not" failed to strike a chord with U.S. audiences, let's hope this one does.
