TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

A loaded single from the suddenly crossed-over UK pop star. When this girl's first album came out, the only time I read about it was scanning through The Guardian to find the soccer scores. Now she's fucking with Ghost and writing songs about rehab that even my mom likes? "Rehab(1)" is awesome, by the way, but the real surprise here is a remix from the equally ubiquitous Hot Chip(2). The boys turn in a nice electro boogie concoction, making good use of the original's horns along with chopped up vocals and some hard-hitting drums toward the end. A nice, extended (7 minutes!) take on a track that we were hoping someone would edit. "You Know I'm No Good(3)" has been around for a second, but it's still hot and you get both the OG and remix(4) with Ghostface – a good look if you didn't pick up More Fish. (And why didn't you? Get the deluxe edition Hidden Darts CD while you're at it... never can have too much PrettyTone.)
