Kiwi Export - Ladyhawke

One of the best exports for New Zealand (and and one of my favourite artists right now), Ladyhawke, is taking the music world by storm!

Originally from Masterton, Ladyhawke (real name Pip Brown) burst on to the music scene this year and has made a big impression!
When i first heard her song "Back of the Van" i was a little unsure of what to make of it. But after listening to it at least ten more times, i really started to enjoy it and was stoked when her next release, "Paris Is Burning" came out! This song is instantly lovable and is just a great dance anthem. It's typical Ladyhawke with simple lyrics and great music, mashed together for around 4 minutes of pure enjoyment! But my favourite and possibly one of the greatest songs of 2008 would have to be "Dusk Till Dawn".
The song is once again simple (musically) and is so damn catchy. It's just got a cool chilled out beat and is just a very smooth and just a fresh sound! Also the video is wicked with many cool ideas for next years Halloween costumes (if you're into that...!

With news that a fourth single from her self-titled debut album ("Ladyhawke", "My Delirium", out December 8th in the UK, this might just be the year of the Ladyhawke!

Score (Dusk Till Dawn): 9/10
