"Rollerblades" is the third single from British recording artist Eliza Doolittle, taken from her eponymous debut album.
[1] The song was released on 4 January 2011 on US iTunes Store as the 'Free Single of the Week'.
[2] Fraser McAlpine of BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive review stating: For an emotion we all yearn to feel, as much as we possibly can, light-hearted skippyfun can be very, very troublesome to capture in popular music.
So it's often a good idea to leaven it with a bit of sourness, just to cleanse the palate.It's a tough balance to strike though.
Ideally, you'd want a song something like this, something which seems to be full of sunlight and happysighs; something which tumbles through your mind like a carrier bag lifted into the afternoon sky by a gentle breeze.Unfortunately, the lighter and happier you sound, the more you risk annoying people, rather than carrying them along with your infectious giddiness, so it needs to also have some great big clumping clown feet, just to keep it from disappearing in a puff of twee.
