Sonny J featured on Orange.co.uk

"A full year after its initial release as Sonny J's debut single, 'Can't Stop Moving' returns for another bite of the chart cherry.

Undoubtedly, this rainbow-coloured treat deserves the second chance because it's easily one of the brightest, brassiest, silliest dance-pop wonders of the year.

All's unfair in love and pop, but now radio's big-hitting stations have got behind the tune's new, if fairly superfluous, Mirwais remix, Sonny is set for some serious airplay.

Fans of Lemon Jelly's 'Nice Weather For Ducks' and The Go! Team will immediately warm to this, as will anyone who remembers the happier side of big beat, best typified by the likes of Bentley Rhythm Ace, The Avalanches and Fatboy Slim's early work.

There's little else to it than a soulful, fairly meaningless vocal, some string loops and a few warm piano riffs. Simple, but great."
