Retro Tuesday: Alisha's Attic

Alisha's Attic, 'I am I feel', Alisha Rules the World.


One of my all time favourites bands /albums; Sisters Karen and Shelly Poole gave us some great pop songs. They still do of course writing for Jamelia/Will Young/Kylie / Rachel Stevens and Shelly's second solo album is in the pipeline, but today its all about their debut.
I got their album of the back of this one song. i never saw the video back then but today it fits beautifully with the trashy bedsit artwork that accompanied the covers of the single releases.

They wake up, find a naked bloke on their floor and sing a bit while some magical mice tidy up their room. Each single came with a cartoon detailing some dream like trip to a never world cross between the wizard of oz and alice on wonderland. Check out this fansite that details everything u need to know. And download this b-side 'Sweet Escape' for a taste of how amazing all their track are- not just those lucky enough to squeeze onto their album.

The song itself is like tank girl meets little red riding hood- surely the inspiration for that movie hoodwinked! Its catchy and got fairy magic coutesy of the eurythmics Dave Stewart, kick ass vocals by Shelly and harmmonic Backing by miss Karen.
