Alexis Jordan - Laying Around With You


Of all the singles Alexis Jordan could have released from her album, Laying Around With You is perhaps the most baffling.

Coming from the same girl who gave us such storming dance-pop treats as Good Girl and Happiness, the simple mid-tempo acoustic strum of Laying Around seems remarkably reserved. But then again, I suppose it shows a different side to her.

The odds of the best track on the album - High Road - getting a single release look pretty distant now. And as Autumn and then Winter start to creep in, the cheery vibes of Laying Around sound a little out of place now, a throwback to the warm sunny rays and long nights of summer.

Co-written by Ne-Yo, his stamp is all over the track - there's more than a definite hint of his classic Hate That I Love You here, the track that of course inspired this brilliant dance remake.

Can we get K-Klass on the case with Alexis too please?

Laying Around With You is available to download here.
