Femmepop - Bright Noise (Preview)

47 seconds. That's all I needed to know that there is greatness in this track. From the beginning of the track to when Maggie's vocals come in, this sample is enough to make me want so much more. That wub wub is just an incredible way to lead off the track. It makes me feel like something David Lynch should use in one his movies. There's a nostalgia to the track and a familiarness to it that makes it super easy to just step into.  I've been a huge fan of Femmepop for a very long time and this makes me appreciate her even more.

FemmePop - Not That Kind

On the frontlines of the New Wave revolution is Irish songstress, Femmepop aka Margaret O'Sullivan.  She is already making a name for herself in the synthpop community and when the songs are as good as this one, there's no doubt this is right where she should be.  If you were to compare her to other vocalists in the genre, she is going to stand out heads above the rest because of the sheer volume of emotion she is able to pour into her music.  So much of the music in this movement sounds soulless and just mass produced.  This song is not one of them.  There is a soulful resonance that takes this song and elevates it to new heights.  Robert Parker built a track that just floats right beside her, never taking over - never overpowering her performance.  It's a beautifully done song and I think it's easily one of my favorites this month, probably this year so far.

After you get through being astounded to how the track sounds, you sit back and pay attention to the lyrics and what she's actually saying.  It's a break up song.  It's honestly one of the most heartfelt break up songs I've heard.  You can tell that there was something to lose but she just couldn't stand there and take it anymore so she made the difficult choice to walk away from the life they'd built together.  You have to do what's right for you even when it's the hardest choice to make.
