Enough of Putney and its Elliott School. I have had it with that place. Instead the chart head to the other side of the world to feature Ladyhawke's eponymous debut album.
To be honest, I am struggling to explain why I like this album so much. It has a distinctly eighties feel, which does not always appeal to me. I suppose it must just be the quality of the songs. It is an unashamed pop album, full of hooks and big choruses.
The other reason would probably be the talent of the woman herself. While other musicians do appear on the album a lot of the work is done by Ladyhawke (Pip Brown) herself. She does vocals, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, drums, keyboards and synthesizers.
For me the stand-out track would be the single Paris is Burning with a chorus approximately the width of the Champs-Élysées and a great scratchy guitar line running most of the way through.

My favourite track on this album is My Delirium.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was too obvious. Although, Paris is Burning was a single too.
