In many ways, Welcome to LA is a joining of dots along lines that run through both time and place. The song sits on a line that runs from the slick dance products of the here and now forward towards futuristic pop possibilities but also on one that connects the western groove with more exotic eastern vibes. Like the city that is the subject of the song, the music is a melting pop of cross-cultural grooves.
Whilst staying fixed to a right here, right now pop-dance method it revels in the perfect blend of occident and orient, of western glamour and eastern mystique, of electronic coolness and vocal heat. The perfect music to remind us that the world is a big place and music is a big adventure or failing that, to just throw off your cares and dance.
