Flo is known for her gorgeous red hair but more well-known for her voice that can basically carry any song no matter how horrible the lyrics are (something that never happens in any of her own songs). So I love it even when she does a cover of the 80s song, "Addicted To Love" by Robert Palmer. Yes, it's the song where the accompanying video had identically dressed women dressed in black, pale makeup and red lipstick. (You may also remember Robert Palmer for the song, "Simply Irresistible.")
Palmer's original version has a lot of heavy key chords and a very big 80s sound overall. Flo takes the song and slows it down a bit featuring more of the harp which she uses so much in her arrangements. It has a very sensual vibe to it, but that's typical for Flo. - Wild Tonic

You're not sick of LDR or anything, are you? If you're teetering, fear not -- we're trying to only bring the better tracks. And that's saying a lot given that the melodramatic songstress appears to be pumping out a song a week.Ignoring the lyrics on ...
