I consider myself a fan of British band Superbird, and it’s all their fault. Kicking off the year in funky fashion, they released their maiden single Cola Bottle Fizz on 4 January. It was requested by Sara Cox herself to become the official theme-tune for her brand-new ITV programme ‘The Sara Cox Show’.

Throughout the year, Superbird put out songs by an average of one every two months. Indeed, Think You Got Me is their sixth single already. Its first notes bring Let’s Stick Together by Bryan Ferry to mind, but ten seconds into the track it’s clear it possesses all of Superbird’s trademark elements. Think You Got Me is another funky indie-pop gem with disco drum rolls, horn stabs and irresistible vocal hooks.

I think they got me the first time around, but I’m sure they got me now.
