B*Witched’s star burned absurdly brightly in the technicolor post-Spice pop explosion of the late 90s. Champagne or Guinness not exactly cool, but it is a remarkably strong outing from a group long since resigned to pop’s dumper. It’s unashamedly a B*Witched release, helmed by four women who have matured but absolutely not lost their sense of fun. After 14 years away from the spotlight, it feels like the group have produced the record they were aiming for with their 1999 release Awake and Breathe – equal parts frenetic joy and an eclectic mixture of disparate styles. And this is on a shoestring budget, fan-funded and entirely realised by Keavy, Edele, Sinead and Lindsay themselves. No, it’s not going to get picked up by Radio 1, but they were too miserable to play B*Witched the first time round too, so sod them. This is precisely what you want from a B*Witched release in 2014. Crack out your drink of choice and join the party. What do you think ?
