Count backwards 5,4,3,2,1… and you are now ready for the magnificence of Red Blooded Women. But don’t call them a girl band or you might get a stiletto in your eye. RBW embrace the cool stylings of modern pop stars like Justin, Nelly Furtado, Kylie and Gwen and spice it up with pepperings of Kraftwerk, Human League, ABC and Massive Attack. Songs like Lingerie showcase their dangerously sexy vocals controlling their melody over bleeping synths and a percussive beat. Bruised is a dark haunting song, filled with an ominous drum pounding and strings that give it an eerie feel ~ probably as close to Sugababes meets latest album Kelly Clarkson as the girls get. Echoes wouldn’t be out of place on a Neneh Cherry mixtape as their trip hop influences shine through – and much like my beloved Simon Curtis, the music is carefully orchestrated to add to the feel of the song; indeed the music becomes unspoken vocals of a progressive story tale. However, it’s the powerful Bloodshed with it’s spoken intro that positively oozes hit single and is utterly mesmerising. I just can’t wait to hear more from these girls and will be featuring more on them shortly…
