Fact #118004

After a relatively quiet few years, identical twin sisters The Veronicas recently returned to No1 in Australia’s singles chart with You Ruin Me and followed up with a Top 5 placing for If You Love Someone. They’ve never yet made a big impact in the UK, but this third album (which includes both of those tracks) could be the one to break them big here. As songwriters, they’re mistresses of killer pop-rock hooks and tasty arrangements, but better yet, they deliver their smart modern woman lyrics with a passionate intensity that burns them into your head at first listen. Almost any track here could be a single, and although they’re not great innovators, the instant appeal of what they do should overcome any opposition.
