If you don’t already know by now, I am a crazed and dedicated fan of Blondie. To me, her music epitomizes the whole image of the epic and memorable decade of the 80’s. I still religiously listen to her hits such as:
and many others.
Since I set my iTunes default country to the United Kingdom, I tend to listen to music that is not relatively known here, to us Americans. Well, I went to “What We’re Listening To” and I stumbled upon an artist named Ladyhawke.The first ten seconds of the song I listened to was enough for it to catch my fancy.
A mix of both Blondie and Stevie Nicks, Ladyhawke is starting to get very popular in the United Kingdom. See, the U.K. youth doesn’t go for Americanized rap or hard rock that much. Well, its still present but Europop, Indie/Folk, Electronica, Dance, and Punk tend to be more prevelent and normal for them. Their tastes in music fits mine perfectly and thats why I lean towards their music instead of ours.
Anyway, I really liked the song and it reminded me of something I couldn’t put my finger on at first. But soon after, something clicked in my head that put both of them together. Her sound is just like that of Blondie.
Is Ladyhawke the new Blondie?
No. No one can replace Blondie. Her sound might be like Blondie or Stevie Nicks but she can never replace them. But if Blondie ever releases a new song, I think something like this would be it. SO without further ado, here is is:
Ladyhawke – My Delirium
