Le Kid “Mercy Mercy”
Arriving just in time to coincide with the triple-degree peaking temperatures of the season, “Mercy Mercy”, the debut single from new Swedish pop quintet Le Kid, is about as perfect as perfect can get when it comes to blissful, summer-ready pop.
It’s got chirpy pin-up babe vocals demanding potential male suitors to “wind me up” and “treat me right”, effervescent “nah-nah-nahs”, a lovely brush of horns on the hook and spunky cheerleader chant interjections that spell out the band’s name…and, oh yeah, it also happens to have as a main chunk of it’s musical source, a nearly too distracting sample of Girls Aloud’s ’08 contender for perfect pop, “Can’t Speak French”, which gives it a nice dose of familiarity.
