CMU Approved
Approved: Pony Pony Run Run (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 August 2009
Laid back French electro-pop with often silly lyrics has, of course, been recently monopolised by The Teenagers’ infuriatingly bland spoken-word to track approach. Pony Pony Run Run take their mantle, jazz it up a bit and end up sounding closer to A-ha and fellow Francophones Pheonix, though without the immediate attraction of either. Their single, ‘Hey You’, is a nice enough ditty though, with a sugary synth hook, bassy piano riff and lyrics about the crush they have on a certain boy/girl: “Wish I was young enough/wish you were made just for me”. Essentially electro-pop for the teen crowd – and I mean that in the nicest way possible – it’s apparently all over the airwaves in France, which makes some sort of UK push inevitable.
