Love Struck

Comments

The Roman numeral for five explains V Factory, Tommy Page's new boy band that recently released its debut, "Love Struck." The rhythmic dance track includes production elements similar to the latest New Kids on the Block album but with a melodic bridge that sounds like five Justin Timberlakes. The young men dance, sing and offer a lot of strategic stuttering and "yeah," "I-I" and "oh-oh" throughout the contagious hit, which first aired on Radio Disney and has climbed the top 40 nationwide ever since. And what boy band would release its first single without a Swedish production team? In this case, TWIN—Niklas Molinder and Joacim Persson—fashioned "Love Struck" and also took part in the songwriting. The V Factory bandmates have backgrounds ranging from dance troupes to film credits to national commercials and Broadway, which means loads of talent in multiples of five.
