Check out "Failure".

I rather like her especially New Romantic

This is what I`m into, local accents for use in art/pop.

Great stuff.

We have to be ourselves and make a product of it.
Failing that, we need to read a script first.

Well done Laura, she sings about what is around her, as opposed to some fantasy land.

Pure democracy here....my partner hates it!!

Not bad but what on earth is happening in the bass dept. Too many muddy clashes in verse 1. I like the sound though. But whats with the photo ? A bit to junkie looking for me. But im not taking away from her.
Will she go places or is this guitar/folky singer a tad too ubiquitous ?

I`m still quite into her stuff, track three is so basically recorded I would take it down personally.

The junkie look KZ , hmmm, I have to agree that it should not be the new cool.

On the intro of track two , she appears to be blowing out smoke which amused me.
I back up the tip on this girl, I think she`s really good.

Junkie look? Not now, been reading this forum has she? Or Virgin.....

This will probably sell. Isn't she signed to Virgin?

But I hate the local accent thing. It's just as contrived as the old trans-atlantic thing people used to get panned for.

The View, Arctic Monekeys, Little Man Tate, Underground Heroes all do it and I find it quite off putting. It seems to excuse people from actually singing.

As for the lyrics, again loads of people love that style (same jeans, bet you look good on't dancefloor etc), but to be honest, I think it's all a bit "say what you see". Very boring if you ask me. Shouldn't lyrics evoke a mood or image that transcends
chit chat?

I'm off to chill out with a bit of ELO.

Granted Kev.

Now we have the morning after look.

Yeah Stewy, Virgin as far as I'm told. Same place as Jamie T which is quite fitting.

I like these kind of lyrics that you can relate to, a bit more than chit-chat I would say. I also like ELO, but can't say I would rate their lyrics as high as what you're putting down.

A story about a bloke called Horace Wimp?
Wishing I was a Wild West Hero?
Complaining that your other half doesn't pick up the phone?
Having a party all over the world?
Asking where the sun has been?

Great songs but the lyrics don't inspire me at all.

Excuse me Kev; could you please check my I Can't Get It Out Of My Head for a possible Kev remix/mashup?
Not a lyric to disturb you, that one.

Yeah I like this song, do you have an instrumental or separates?
