Right now, every rising nu-disco diva has to deal with the Gaga comparison, and Victoria Hesketh, who records as Little Boots, has neither the personality nor the all-the-world's-a-fashion-runway chutzpah of pop's reigning megastar. What the Brit singer does have is a bunch of shiny, propulsive electro-pop songs. Hesketh is a dance artist with a torchy streak; minor chords creep up, and the lyrics reckon smartly with love and its discontents. In "Remedy," a collaboration with Gaga producer RedOne, she has a solution: disco as the cure to all ills. "No more poison killing my emotions," she sings. "Dancing is my remedy."
