       Well if you haven't ever heard Saint Etienne or have heard of
       the name but never heard any of their music - you are in for a
       real treat! This is one of those kind of highly innovative bands
       that has something for everyone and will appeal to all sorts of
       different kinds of people.
       As the time and date stands right now on October 18 2012, they
       have released eight proper studio albums. All of them are
       wonderful and very different sounding from each other.
       Most beginners would do well to start with their 2009
       compilation London conversations as a great introduction. Which
       is compiled of mostly their more dancer tunes.
       The band started off inspired by 1960s pop music and humorous
       samples from movies and British Television. Their first album
       closely resembles house music but it's hard to call the music
       anything other than dance pop. The idea of Pete Wigs and Bob
       Stanley (the founders of Saint Etienne) in the beginning was to
       use several different guest vocalist but when they met Sarah
       Cracknell, they quickly decided to keep her as a permanent
       member of the group.
       The first single (song) Saint Etienne released with Sarah
       Cracknell as the lead singer was Nothing can stop us. It was the
       very first song (and music video) that I heard (saw) when I
       first discovered them a couple of years ago.

       Before Sarah joined as their lead singer, they hired Moira
       Lambert to sing a electro pop smash cover of a Neil Young song,
       Only love can break your heart

       And now here is one more great song to leave you by Saint
       Etienne from their second album So Touch, which has a similar
       sound to their first album..
       The lyrics are great and the British models featured on this
       video are lovely! Sarah looks great too. This song has a very
       retro 1960 pop vibe to it that I just love.  ;D

       There is a alternate UK version of this music video single which
       I almost like better than the US version. See it here!
