Izabel Guzman ~ All In Your Head
Ah, young Izzy. Not quite as ice cool as Robyn, not quite as adorable as Kylie, not quite as pretentiously quirky as Roisin, but perhaps a mixture of all 3. DontStopThePop was first off the block to succumb to her cheeky charms and her debut single is a straightforward sleek, undeniably catchy beautiful pop gem. Some might say it’s the sort of direction that Kylie should have gone with instead of the delectable 2 Hearts (thezapping number one this week!), but Kylie has always marched to the beat of her own drum, and Izabel may fill the gap nicely for those yearning to put on their dancing shoes to a trembling then mighty groove that comes out of nowhere and hooks you round your groove vein until you are totally hypnotised, grabbing the one you love and shimmying like there is no tomorrow. Resistance is futile. Failure to become the new pop princess is not an option...
Let’s get this out of the way straight away. Kadyn is ridiculously good looking and smoking hot in a GQ model sort of way. So it’s fairly easy to imagine him strutting around in a video, doing some sultry dance routine and totally distracting me from the music. Luckily the music is pretty darn addictive and as a bourgeoning new star, he quite wisely focuses on the current trend of having an insatiable electro beat, swirling disco inspired instrumentation and a killer hook that strives for excellence and very nearly achieves it. Lyrically, it’s reflective of the current climate of a nation under the threat of terrorism, and it’s nice to see smart pop cropping up more and more in the new wave of artists...
