"Songs Remind Me of You" is a song by Norwegian recording artist Annie from her second studio album, Don't Stop (2009). Written by Richard X and Hannah Robinson, the track was released digitally on 17 August 2009 as the album's lead single.

Background

The song, described as "Annie's first true four-to-the-floor anthem leading to dancefloor abandon", was produced by Richard X.[1] It dates back to 2006,[2] recorded with Richard X in London during the earlier sessions for Don't Stop.[3]

Release and reception

"Songs Remind Me of You" was first released on a Don't Stop album sampler in April 2008,[4] and it later leaked with the rest of the album in summer 2008. After Annie left Island Records, a revised edition of the album was released through Annie's own label Totally Records and Oslo-based indie label Smalltown Supersound in November 2009.[5] "Songs Remind Me of You" was released as its lead single via iTunes on 17 August 2009.[6] It was re-released on iTunes on 20 July 2010, featuring brand-new cover art and a remix by Australian trio The Swiss.[7]

The track received critical acclaim upon its release. Peter Robinson of Popjustice simply called the song "amazing".[8] Ian Wade of BBC Music described it as "a blinding snort-up of amyl disco strobe-fest proportions, which throws in a bit of Mel & Kim just in case it wasn't quite rapturous enough".[9] Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani referred to the song as "a rollicking Italo disco nugget".[10] Pitchfork Media's Kasia Galazka scored the track eight out of ten and gave it a "Best New Music" designation, commenting that it is "happily 80s meta-pop, and the quicksand melody in the chorus is infatuating".[11] Bradley Stern of MuuMuse praised it as a mixture of "lush disco, breathy vocals, and intergalactic swarms of electronica".[12]

The song is featured in a scene of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2.
