Everyone is entitled to a guilty pleasure, right? I have no guiltier one than Toronto’s Dragonette & I really, really like their particularly bright, sugary electropop. So, fine — let the backlash begin. There aren’t many hard-working, trend-setting trios of Canadians such as Dragonette making music this infectious without sacrificing style or heart. Martina Sorbara lights up every frame the way she lights up a microphone. This video for “Let It Go” either successfully explains my fascination or will leave you confused as they flashdance their way through a hospital (a mental hospital?). Either way, I think this is an absolute banger from beginning to end.

If you haven’t already played this song over and over again about a dozen times, it’s your turn — the original and Laidback Luke remixes.

And lucky for you — Dragonette is on tour across the U.S. and Canada this summer with The Knocks!!
