It's the debut single by The Yeah You's. I mentioned them here a couple of months ago.
The best parts of the video are the sound of the AM radio around the 1.29 mark, the awkwardly cute dance routine at 1.40 and the talk show introduction at 2.34. It's quite a big budget video considering how labels are pretty much running on fumes these days.
"15 Minutes" pushes all of my buttons. It has shades of Queen, ELO and 10cc splashed all over it. You can even make out bits of Squeeze and XTC in there. It's steeped in stacked harmonies and 70s influences. The Yeah You's deserve to have a giant hit with this. We'll be playing this around the offices at The Rewind over and over for weeks and weeks. Be warned!

ReplyDeleteBest single of the year so far without a doubt! Pity the BBC use it for the soundtrack for Wimbledon though.
