Hungry for more?
2 01 2008
Following on from the awkward fawning over Ladyhawke earlier, I’ve since managed to dig up from the vault a couple more Ladyhawke songs that I thought you might enjoy.
First up is Paris Is Burning. This is arguably the song most of us have come to know and love while it sat for so long on her myspace, almost as a herald of good times ahead.

It just screams carefree summers spent in continental climes, of happy 60s films and summer dresses. Every bit the summer anthem. I love it.
Next up is Manipulating Woman. This is a more recent addition to her myspace page and what an addition it is too.

Ladyhawke – Manipulating Woman
I could wax lyrically about how this sounds more modern and more immediate than Paris Is Burning, but that doesn’t matter quite as much as simply knowing that this is really quite good. Simple as that.
I remarked in another post that we’re starting to see the blogosphere mark their picks of “artists to watch in ’08″. Well, ladies and gentlemen, Ladyhawke is on my list of artists I’ll be watching this year.
Watching to see if she performs live the next time she’s in Wellington.
Watching to see if she busts out any new material.
Watching to see if she rekindles her collaboration with Pnau‘s Nick Littlemore in Teenager.
Expect greatness people. I know I do. On the basis of her work so far, how can you not?
