New Zealand electro-pop singer-songwriter Ladyhawke is gearing up for the spring release of her long-awaited sophomore album, Anxiety. This week, the Ladyhawke camp posted her new single, "Black White & Blue," online in advance of its February 20th release. Check it out:
You may remember Ladyhawke from her absolutely fantastic 2008 self-titled debut album that spawned hit singles like "Paris is Burning" and "Magic." She also performed a notable acoustic cover of the Britney Spears pop anthem "Womanizer."
That cover is actually how I first heard of Ladyhawke and I was so glad when I finally looked into her music because her first album is truly great. It's one of those rare albums that fits any occasion. Driving in the car, doing chores around the house, concentrating incredibly hard on something tedious while sitting in a beige cubicle. On the surface, Ladyhawke delivers killer dance beats with soulful lyrics. And underneath all that, there is this calming undercurrent that lulls you into a state of peace. That sounds incredibly over the top, but I think it's that balance of calm and loud that makes her music so fantastic and malleable.
I haven't seen an official confirmation of a U.S. release date, but Anxiety will be released in Australia and the U.K. on March 19th. Hopefully, a North American release will follow soon after that.
