Song of the day – 92: Tender Trap

That’s Tender Trap, not Temper Trap for all you musical bozos out there. What can I say? This is from the new album Dansette Dansette by Amelia Fletcher’s Tender Trap, and it’s as crushworthy and cute and gorgeous and laced through with a love for 60s femme pop as much as you could possibly desire. Or perhaps you desire more? Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow!

She sang at our wedding, you know.

I once wrote a review of her first band Talulah Gosh in the NME that took me (and quite possibly them) years to recover from.

I’d imagine the photograph above is ridiculously out-of-date. Maybe not. It seems to be taken from the video below.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
