Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Born just outside Wellington, New Zealand at the dawn of the '80s, Pip Brown is nothing if not a child of the decade that spawned her. Ladyhawke, Brown’s debut album as a solo artist is steeped in the sounds of electro-pop and new wave, Blondie and Cyndi Lauper. But thanks to the eternal cycles of fashion--not to mention a fair few good ideas of her very own--Ladyhawke comes out sounding far from a relic to the not-so-distant past. Present are the big chords, bubbling synths and digi-claps of '80s pop, but Brown’s smart tales of love and quarrel are delivered with an introspective quality and lean touch that puts one in mind of more modern pop stars like Annie, Robyn, et al. Still, "Magic" and "My Delirium" are authentically anthemic, simmering verses building to fist-punching choruses; and perhaps the album’s strongest moment comes with "Paris Is Burning", a gleaming concoction of sparking synthesiser and stiffly funky basslines that sees Brown singing of scenes of Bacchanalian excess and is oddly reminiscent of mid-'80s Fleetwood Mac. So, what you make of Ladyhawke might depend on your nostalgia for the decade of excess ... but be warned: even if you’d rather forget those years, Ladyhawke might just be the girl to convert you. --Louis Pattison
