The awkward, irrelevant computer reference aside - Cut Copy Me is a surprisingly cool track, with the veteran star sounding vulnerable yet vibrant. The video is an ode to ancient PC technology that's right on the vintage imagery trend, but thankfully the track itself is fresh without trying to be too hip and/or happening. Okay, so there's just the slightest hint of auto-tune, but we're not talking Cher levels here.
I must admit - I spent the entire viewing experience wondering if Petula herself would wander in and start typing an email to her beloved grandchildren, one rheumatic finger at a time - an icon for silver surfers everywhere. Alas, no such luck, but the clip does match the wistful nature of the song.
Cut Copy Me may not be as instant as that hit of hers, and it may not take her back to the top 10 like the remix of said hit did in 1988, but it's an endearing preview to her new album Lost In You, which is out this week.
