Named after the 1980s fantasy film of the same title, Ladyhawke is the alias of New Zealand-based electro-pop performer Phillipa "Pip" Brown. Unabashedly nostalgic about radio hits of the `80s, Brown, often aided by producer Pascal Gabriel, gilds her songs with accessible synth-heavy arrangements, as best exemplified by the catchy single "Paris Is Burning." Touring with likeminded bands such as the Tings Tings, Ladyhawke easily fits in with other New Wave-loving acts, most notably CSS, Cut Copy, Annie, and Robyn.

Ladyhawke Artist Snapshot:Product Description
ReviewSpin (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Through the digital wizardry and pumping beats, you can hear an unabashedly heartfelt and occasionally vulnerable artist." Title NoteNew Zealand songstress Ladyhawke makes what can best be described as Euro-American disco-party trash. This multi-instrumentalist clearly grew up playing Stevie Nicks in the mirror over a soundtrack of '70s funk and '80s freestyle pop. Here, the finest moments come on "Love Don't Live Here," which re-imagines classic Heart as fronted by a more overtly cooing seductress, and "Paris Is Burning," where Ladyhawke teases through the chorus in its eponymous city's native tongue. Fun is the operating word on this self-titled full-length, and it's achieved by balancing the catchy and current with the warm embrace of nostalgia.
