Platnum
Love Shy (Thinking About You)

Hard2Beat

WE SAY

Since Bassline set the UK charts alight last year, the crossover hits keep coming. Vocal trio Platnum, who have sold 250,000 copies of previous number two hit 'What's It Gonna Be', release this cover of Danish pop star Kristine Blond's Love Shy, which was twice a UK Top 30 hit (in 1998 and 2000). It's great fun, and house pioneer's Agent X and Virgo's fine production turn on this should propel this to continue the success of Hard2Beat's great run this year. Added to Box and Kiss TV this week and was 12 weeks upfront on Kiss FM. JF
