LOLLIPOP - BRANDY MOSS-SCOTT
Goofball pop is due for a comeback in the United States — after all, things have been all too serious and hardcore on radio for the greater part of the decade. Brandy Moss-Scott’s “Lollipop” is as good a bid for airplay as Cascada’s recent top 10, “Everytime We Touch,” with this song’s irresistible sing-along hook: “Lickety split, I think he’s it” and all its innuendo. The song’s remixes carry it home, particularly the Josh Harris Miami Freedom radio edit and even bubblier Davidson Ospina radio edit. It takes one listen to get what “Lollipop” is about, and while Moss-Scott may not be the next Celine Dion, she does deserve props for original producer/songwriter credits. Worth a listen as the beach heats up, and top 40 (hopefully) realizes that a little fun will brighten a lot more days than one more hip-hop retread. Billboard
