Radiocontrolledrobot
Radiocontrolledrobot is the first studio album released by Johannesburg-based South African Indie rock band The Parlotones under its Sovereign Entertainment label. A shorter version of the album (comprising 12 tracks instead of 18) was released internationally in 2007, making it the first international album released by the band. The album also won the best album of the year at the 2006 South Africa Music Awards.
The first single from the album is "Colourful". The single "Overexposed" was used as the theme song for FHM World's Hottest Woman short film. A TV commercial for Fujifilm in Ireland featured the track "Beautiful".[1]
