Synthpop duo MS MR are back with an almighty bang, and one of 2015's strongest pop belters so far.
With dramatic horn sections, breakbeat drums, house piano and anxious vocal lines, it's one of the most monumental singles to hit the airwaves this year - if it doesn't make you get up and shake yourself into oblivion, you probably need to hit the replay button a couple more times.
"Painted" is the first single from MS MR's sophomore LP; the track is available for download from tomorrow (7 April) via Columbia.
