RUDEBOX

Welcome to the Rudebox. Can u do the Rudebox?

Shake your Rudebox. Love the Rudebox. Hate the Rudebox. Beat the Rudebox.

Why u so nasty?

Show us your Rudebox.

Poses mean prizes but remember..

The Rudebox decides.

Need inspiration?

Then go way back - when breakbeats brought you joy and shell suits were de rigeur. Candy bracelets were on your arms, crimping and plimsoles ruled your look, Knight Rider was on TV and you fell asleep dreaming of a night at Club Tropicana. Before your time? Just think rude.

Fancy going head-to-head with the Rudebox? Well, go ahead, make it's day. Send your personal Rudebox video to…

So there you go, want to get involved? You know what to do.

I quite like this song, although it's taken me about ten listens to get it. I'm not sure if the version I've heard is a remix or the final version, but it's totally different to anything he's done before. Electronica beats with Rob rapping over the top and a smoothly sung chorus. It's got hints of Madonna, The Pet Shop Boys and the rap from his duet with Kylie. It's a grower so give it a chance. And lots of namechecks for old skook Adidas shell toes... oh, and it has hand claps - always a winner in my book!

He's definitely being experimental in his most recent singles; Radio, Tripping and now Rudebox (out on September 4th) show him pushing his musical boundaries, slowly getting further away from the pop-rock he's known for. I'm really looking forward to hearing the album it's from, 1974 out in December. In this article The Sun reports there's apparently backing vocals from Lily Allen and other tracks called She's Madonna, The Actor, Lovelight and We're The Pet Shop Boys, and that he's pushed the release date back to avoid a clash with Justin Timberlake's latest album.

Let me know what you think when you've heard it...

(Thanks Sam (the female one... lol)!!!! )

Update: Here's a clip of the song over a video a fan has posted on youtube...
