Editorial Reviews

2007 debut album from the Canadian/British Electro-Pop outfit. Dragonette make sharp, sardonically witty pop songs (think Goldfrapp hanging out with their best friend Gwen Stefani at a Scissor Sisters party). They are _ Canadian (Dan, Martina and Joel) and ¬ British (guitarist Will). The band have been playing shows and making friends across the UK since decamping there in 2006. More than anything, Dragonette is a band having fun. 11 tracks including the singles 'Take It Like a Man' and 'I Get Around'. Mercury.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC Album!, June 29, 2009

I discovered Dragonette in late 2007 after hunting down their song "Get Lucky" after I heard it on a JC Penney commercial.
What I found was much more than what I expected.
I was blown away.
I'd never heard electro-pop like this before.
The music is unbelievably catchy, Martina's vocals are sexy and sassy, and there is so much variety so the album never gets boring or feels monotonous.
Some great songwriting found on this album.

Stand out tracks: I Get Around, Take It Like A Man, Black Limousine, Marvelous.

If you just like good pop songs, electro-pop songs, whatever, you need this album. I've been listening to it for 2 years straight, and I still love it.

I fully agree with the previous reviewer in terms of artist similarities. I happened to be with a friend at a music store, and heard this on a listening station. I am oh so glad that I did! It's a great CD - content is a little different than standard top 40 stuff (ie. 2nd track lyrics, "your girlfriend's my competition, she is my competition..." but not vulgar. Track 6 makes me happy to be alive. Catchy tunes, and each song changes drastically in composition as you listen to it - it feels like you have more songs than the 11 on here.

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this group, but somehow I did, and I am all the better for it. I know some people hate comparisons, but I always find them helpful, so I am going to do it... The official Amazon reviewer got it pretty close to right on - I'd say it sounds like Gwen Stefani fronting the Scissor Sisters for an album co-produced by Duran Duran, Garbage, and Goldfrapp. I think you get the idea. This is ultra-catchy, ultra-fun electro-pop at its best. Every track is great. The album plays like a greatest hits collection, though it's amazingly the group's debut. My favorite tracks are probably "Competition," "True Believer," and "Limousine," but I like them only slightly more than all the others. This is truly addicting and delicious stuff. Definitely one of my albums of the year.
