ooooohhhhHHHH-OW!

Blew out Steve’s speakers obsessing over Nicole Wray’s spectacular “If I was Your Girlfriend,” which is this year’s “Milkshake” in that it starts and ends in the same pocket, but despite its march-in-place, is fireworky enough to warrant repeats. It’s two minutes of package-delivered energy, and I like that it doesn’t sound subject-object, despite the lyrics; it’s more Nicole’s solitary “I’m freaking regardless of whether I’m your number one supplier, because I’m a FREAK!,” a dancing solo in the mirror kinda freak, and all the power that comes with that. She’s real Angela Chase that way. [download video under “Freedom Dance” header.]
