Finnish Boys of Scandinavia have created a romping disco sensation in 'Why Do You Love Me?" The vocals are bright, electronic and echo-laden, bursting through your speakers while the guitar aches and chirps viciously above the techno beats and thundering percussion. The synth looms full of vigour on this catchy track, which merges catchy dance elements not unknown in Ibiza, with darker bass and guitar sounds; the 'Major Tweakes Remix' perhaps shows this more challenging side off a little more. The lyrics, "I've got no desire, I've got no sexuality" certainly sway towards a more sleazy rock based direction, although the lyrics mostly become disconnected as you get swept away by the funky tune.

Whether or not it's a bit too close to straight-laced dance music for some, 'Why Do You Love Me?' is a catchy slice of electro energy tinged with something a little darker and more guitar based than most floor fillers; whatever it is, it could definitely be a hit.
