Single Of The Week -Thunderpuss Featuring Jocelyn Enriquez : So Fabulous So Fierce (Freak Out)
Single of the week - 8th September 2001
Thunderpuss are Chris Cox and Barry Harris, the latter of whom was responsible for Kon Kan?s huge ?80s electro pop anthem ?I Beg Your Pardon?. When people talk about unpretentiousness in dance music it rarely sets the pulse racing, but this single - as with the majority of Thunderpuss? output, from original material to remixes for everyone from Madonna to the Pet Shop Boys- is such a big funk-stuffed disco anthem that it?s hard to see a flaw in the floorfilling. Propelled by Enriquez? belting vocals ?So Fabulous So Fierce? hurls itself with gay (in every sense) abandon into Chic?s ?Le Freak? on the radio edit and goes decidedly Jaxxy in the Thunderpuss main mix; this track is both fabulous [I]and[I] fierce and, it is single of the week?
