Peggy Gou – (It Goes Like) Nanana 12" (Vinyl)
"(It Goes Like) Nanana" is a throwback to the early '90s at Café del Mar, when José Padilla was soundtracking sunsets for an increasingly British audience. Vintage rave chords elbow in over chunky, swung drums and a forlorn synth that has shades of Eurodance (a genre Gou played with on her last single).
And even if the lyrics are a bit silly, they're catchy—I can already see throngs of bucket hat clad lads chanting "nanana" on a festival bus to the afters. There is nothing, in short, subtle about the track, but who cares—this is dance pop down to a science.
Mark Barrott once described Balearic music as "heart music," a good way to explain a genre that isn't so much a sound as a vibe. And by this token, "(It Goes Like) Nanana" is as vibey and Balearic as they come.
