    disco Scissor Sisters - "Shady Love" (single) & "Magic Hour" (album)

    Yay, new single release for 2012!

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/ne...ew-single.html

    Scissor Sisters announce new single

    The Scissor Sisters have unveiled details of a new single for 2012.

    The American nu-disco band will release 'Shady Love' in January. The song will feature rapper Azealia Banks.

    Addressing fans on Facebook, they revealed: "We hope you are having a great Christmas and looking forward to a very exciting 2012 filled with new music, shows, and surprises. One such surprise is coming your way sooner than you thought!

    "We've spent 2011 making an album that we're really proud of and can't wait to share with you. Because you've been such good boys and girls, we'll be kicking off 2012 with a sneak peek of a brand new song to whet your appetite for what's to come."

    Singer Ana Matronic first announced in September that the group were working on a fourth studio album - a follow-up to 2010's Night Work.

    Scissor Sisters' 'Shady Love' will receive its first play on Radio 1 on January 2 between 10am and 1pm.

    -----------------

    Definitely think this will put them back on track as "Fire With Fire" was so unrepresentative of the great Night Work album... and with Azealia Banks' current hype, it should be a very big hit for them!

    This COULD be rather AWESOME.

    Not exactly a collab I expected either but a nice surprise.

    Absolutely. Night Work was very much a move AWAY from the MOR of Ta Dah, I thought. As commercially unwise as it may have been.

    I suppose the last one was less inclined towards MOR balladry. But it was JUST SO DULL.

    Have they EVER been known for their 'MOR balladry'? 'Mary' and 'Land of a Thousand Words' aside, their biggest hits are the uptempo tracks and their albums only contain one or two ballads.

    Jark is always reliably at his WORST when discussing the Scissor Sisters. The last album was tremendous, and I've no idea how the likes of Night Work, Running Out, Sex and Violence et al could at ALL be described as 'dull' or MoFUCKINGR!

    I think this calls for a RATE of the album:

    08 Night Work
    08 Whole New Way
    10 Fire With Fire
    09 Any Which Way (Kylie really should have been on the album version)
    07 Harder You Get
    08 Running Out
    09 Something Like This
    09 Skin This Cat
    07 Skin Tight
    09 Sex And Violence
    07 Night Life
    11 Invisible Light

    I have to say, that last album wasn't great AT ALL. In fact, until I read this thread I totally forgot it existed the tracks were so forgettable. It DOES have one or two moments but the first two albums shit all over it.
    Top up, Sue?

    To AVOID the notorieties of gay inflation I've dodged an 11, but Sex and Violence is the best thing on there, and this is as measured as I can get with this album. There are hooks aplenty despite what Jark might FERVENTLY INSIST in an attempt to pass off hating the Scissor Sisters because they're now apparently too gay for his self-loathing self to be seen enjoying, and the production is absolutely top notch. I still listen to the album at least once a month, and it's one of the few albums I listen to from start to finish without skipping a single track. A truly coherent and consistently enjoyable package.

    Sex and Violence is indeed the best thing on there. However, Fire With Fire is absolute dross.

    And also I think it shows how SHIT your criticisms actually are given only one of those songs is actually about sex!

    Oh wait no, she IS. Jake Shears' rapping in the first verse is a MESS I love the chorus and Azealia's verse (and the FANTASTIC middle eight) but this isn't at ALL what I was expecting!

    I just don't get why they've dropped the ft. Azealia Banks when it so obviously is her

    OH WELL

    I think Azealia's label might have made them drop it to avoid overexposure or something like that, it's the oly reason that makes sense to me...
