As if one fantastic music video wasn't enough, Kate Nash has just released a second video for her single "Fri-end?". Instead of vampires and monster mashing, this version looks more like a technicolor film from the 60's. Multiple Kate's are all color blocked in classic mod inspired fashion. Directed by Ryan Baxley, it's really just super awesome. Check it out...
Kate's new "Fri-end?" EP is out in the US at this very moment. It includes the radio edit, acoustic version, instrumental, and two remixes of the song. Also in the bundle is "Pink Limo Ride", a song written about her friend who was attacked in a hate crime, which you can read about on Kate's blog.
I must admit that I didn't quite see the appeal of Charli XCX at first. With that said, my first exposure to Charli's music was "Cloud Aura" from her Super Ultra mixtape, which features Brooke Candy. Anything involving Brooke Candy can take a little while to warm up to. After stumbling upon "Take My Hand", I truly started to appreciate Charli's debut True Romanceas a whole and now it's a bit of a staple whenever some solid electro-pop is needed.
Charli XCX's latest song is a taste from her upcoming second album. While details on the sophomore release are almost non-exsistant, the first single has already received a video treatment. "SuperLove" is a bubblegum crossover track and the video adds robots, harajuku stylings, and plenty of attitude to the mix. If you haven't already heard the song, then please do yourself a favor and watch the video first. It's a colorful blast of pop and possibly too much fun.
