Victoria Hesketh aka Little Boots started her career writing her songs and posting covers on Youtube and Myspace pages. The videos soon became an online sensation generating interest from both fans and music executives in the UK. The interest resulted in a major record deal, and soon after Little Boots was in the studio recording her debut album Hands which was released in the UK on June 8th, 2009. With the release of Hands in the UK, the US simultaneously released the digital EP Illuminations, which included the underground club hit "New In Town." Shortly after, Little Boots released the New In Town Remix EP and the dance club sensation Remedy Remix EP. Hands is considered by many critics as an album with "well-crafted" pop songs and "diverse" production. The album primarily features songs about love, relationships, and heartbreak, and takes influence from a variety of music styles such as disco, 1980s pop, and Eurodance.
