Watch this video without question

Put your hand up if you remember Mis-Teeq.
They were some "pop band" with "Uk Garage roots" (although it was always debatable whether Uk garage was a genuine genre).
Anyway check this video, it is the new single from Alesha Dixon the MC from Mis-Teeq. (She used to put on an excellent Shaggy/Sean Paul esq voice).



Watched it? Did you understand the songs appeal?
Well here is why I like it.

1) An excellent rock guitar riff.
2) That woah woah bit is good.
3) The bridge comes out of nowhere and doesn't fit the rest of the song.
4) It's the kind of pop song the Lostprophets would cover.
5) The song finishes with the guitar on its own.

It's like a beautiful modern pop/rock hybrid and that should be saluted and encouraged.
