MP3: Kiki Pau - Pit bull
Pop music with a touch of swing? I can get behind that. We don't need another full-on scene revival, but sure, I'll support a band that wants to jazz it up a bit. Finland's Kiki Pau does a decent job at it, though I get the sense they're holding themselves back. Shouldn't a song called "Pit bull" be a bit more... invigorating? Angry, even? Or would that just be reinforcing negative stereotypes? Not all bullies are that way, I know. Anyhow, the people doing those backing vocals sound like they'd rather be anywhere else and the solo section never really takes off quite like I hoped. Still, it's good to hear a band doing something a little different beyond the usual indiepop templates. I'm good with that.
