Has anyone else noticed that Ladyhawke's collaboration with Pnau, Embrace - featured on Pnau's self titled album - is significantly better (in every possible way) than anything on Ladyhawke's own album?Disturbingly so. This young diva, who has burst on to the scene with the help from some heavy marketing from her Modular maestros is altogether unremarkable.
A pale imitation to Debbie Harry in every way, Ladyhawke uses her amazing voice to little effect on the majority of her first LP, which is quite a shame considering all the hype she is recieving, and a disapointment for anyone who thought Modular were going to continue their hot streak this year.
Apart from headlining the Hot BBQ Festival this New Years Day above Aussie Hip-Hop kings The Herd and deck-melters Boys Noize...the young New Zealander has been added to Modular's 10th Birthday celebrations, a sequel to last year's Daft Punk smackdown NeverEverLand....amongst the likes of Cut/Copy and The Presets, but this little disco-boy doesn't think she's earned her stripes.
Sadly, she is riding the waves of success her label mates have created for her, and honestly it sucks to know that if she hadn't blossomed in the most fertile season of Australian music since Friday was on the mind of the Easybeats, she wouldn't have made it thus far.
If i was Ladyhawke's manager i'd be hiring Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes to write her some more songs or else her career will be burning along with Paris and her over styled hair...
