8 out of 10
Lead vocalist/pianist Jaclyn Quatela and guitarist/drummer Jill Winter not only share the letter J at the beginning of their names but are also both natives of New York and together they also form Jac & Jil. They met in 2006 through another band yet soon after decided to go their own way and record an album in the spring of 2008 as a duo. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences the said album is slated for a 2009 release, with the free to download single 'Mm' Mm' Good' setting the scene before the pair take to the road in support of their debut release.
The song itself hits off with a slinky bass line, choppy guitar chords and honking Rhodes organ, while Quatela's vocals drift over in a forceful and alluring manner. With a distinct Latin feel the song trips into a more melodic pre chorus bridge with ringing guitar chords and chiming bells while the chorus becomes a pounding cascade of organ and drums. The lyrics themselves describe a game of romantic cat and mouse, the song building into a climax of "Mm Mm Mm's" and honking Rhodes. The overall effect is stiletto heeled Pop with a ferocious attitude all inclusive, along the lines of the glamorous cool that Gwen Stefani manages to put out. Jac & Jill are evidently dance floor divas without even trying.
