It's been a while since we heard from the 'not so great a singer - every inch a great popstar' KE-dollarsign-HA. Her debut album Animal sold over 3 million copies, pretty impressive for a 25 year old who can't hold a note. It's not vocal talent that garnered favour for this crazy wench though, it's her wacky persona and tanks of charisma. With hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks, a dirty snarl and a string of ridiculously catchy hit songs she's the ideal pop character in an age where perfection is so heavily sought.
New single 'Die Young', from upcoming second album Warrior, opens a bit like a Flo Rida track with a heavily produced guitar riff and a playground chant of 'let's make the most of the night like we're going to die young'. It soon bursts into a hyper, electropop dance anthem with more hooks than a Fisherman's tackle box. This is probably her best song to date (almost tying 'Tik Tok' and 'Blow'), and is definitely one of my favourite songs of 2012. It's a fun way to close of the music year.
5/5
