Hypewatch – Ida Maria
Now, I was there before Steve Lamacq. So were Dave, Jimmy, Beth and Claire at a dingy Borderline gig.
Most of us are departing more quickly than him too. That’s the thing about hype, you find it you shout about it because you beat other people to a band but then you realise the error of your ways. Now in this instance I was simply testing opinion and reserve the right to say i was never a fan.
is she good? If you sing about Stella you raise expectations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd1vZv6j27s&NR=1
And to be honest the line “i wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight” is something you say after, rather than to Stella.
Its also quite an achievement to sing the line “I like you so much better when you’re naked” in a way that actually makes you want to run away fully clothed as fast as possible holding on to your delicates for added protection. Because it’s not like she’s not got pop appeal, but she scares me when she sings. Slipknot don’t scare me, masks and all, but she does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cySmUjQB05I&NR=1
Verdict: Only if you dare
