Tag Of The Day! Mini Viva ‘I Left My Heart In Tokyo’
Mini Viva are the latest pop starlets to surface from the house of Xenomania; the production and writing power team that have delivered career defining hits for Girls Aloud, Sugababes and Alesha Dixon and who have incidentally scored more UK top 10 hits than Christian Aguilera and Britney Spears combined.
Their latest protégés are 19 year old Frankee and 20 year old Britt, a pair of British pop darlings already tipped for big things by know-it-all pop music bloggers, Popjustice.com. Their lead single ‘Left My Heart In Tokyo’ is a riotous mish-mash of swirling dance synthesisers, sweeping disco strings, Daft Punk bass work and stomping house beats. Stylistically the record sits somewhere between the cooler electro pop of Stuart Price and the unashamed mainstream house of The Freemasons; placing Mini Viva in a very promising position considering the music buying public’s affection for electro pop diva’s (La Roux/ Lady Gaga) and radio friendly dance rhythms (David Guetta/ Black Eyed Peas). Remix duties are covered by Fred Falke, who applies his considerable ear for a cross over hit to an already peppy pop track.
Released this week, this could well end up being yet another Top 10 it for the all conquering Xenomania team.
