What are the perfect ingredients for a hit popsong? There's no way you can really pinpoint them out, but I bet you there must be a mathematical formula for this type of thing laying around somewhere. Either way, Australian indie-pop collective Sheppard sure as hell doesn't need a magical formula, because they seem to have found exactly what it takes to produce one. "Geronimo" is the epitome of catchy : a giddy, happy go lucky popsong with hook upon hook upon hook and an unstoppable sing-along chorus. It got to me after the very first listen and it's still stuck in my head! They scored their first number one hit in Australia with this track, not bad for an independent band, and it even went triple platinum! That success obviously didn't go unnoticed, as some music moguls over at Republic Records have now signed them to their label. I'm betting my money on it that this is going to be a huge hit in Europe and the States as well, because it's just THAT good! See if I'm right by watching the music video below. |
