The New Robyn: Or, Why I’m Obsessed With Nicola Roberts
It’s not very often that I’m impressed by pop music, but the last couple of years have brought about Lykke Li, Roisin Murphy, Robyn (a re-birth, if you will) and Marina and the Diamonds, to name a few.
All of these artists have brought an emotional sphere to their sugar-coated edges, which has translated into, dare I say, smart pop music. I’m all for dance music, but if you feed me a little more depth, I’m sold.
And that brings me to Nicola Roberts. What’s not to love?
-She has plenty of hoo-oo-oo-oks.
-Her voice takes influence from Robyn, Gwen Stefani and Kate Bush.
-She is a red head that isn’t Geri Halliwell.
Anything else?
Oh, that’s right, she interviewed Lady Gaga.
I hope she gets some exposure in the states because she definitely has caught my attention.
