FEMME

Recommended Posts

From a music blog (since there's no bio for her):

 

1966692_842085495806771_1304067102_n.jpg

 

The UK M.I.A? The new Charli XCX? Robyn version 2.0? The modern version of Amazulu? (OK that last one might be a bit obscure for younger readers). Whatever your reference point is one thing is for sure, Femme is bloody brilliant. This is thoroughly modern pop brought to you by South London based producer and vocalist Laura Bettinson a Goldsmiths graduate who has already been involved in a broad church of projects including Ultraísta, the band formed by Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and drummer Joey Waronker as well as eccentric electronic pop act Dimbleby & Capper. However it’s with Femme that we really feel Laura has found her space. The songs she’s making are a little bit left of centre but with fantastic hooks and snappy lyrics. “I’m looking at the girl in the Afghan Coat and wondering if she’s naked underneath,” is our favourite. 
 
The sound of Femme is all candy rhymes, booty shaking bass lines, cool for school raps, candyfloss computerisations, cartoon hooks, sassy self-belief and just a hell of a lot of fun. With 2 double A Sides Educated /Double Trouble and Fever Boy / Heartbeat (on 12” heart shaped vinyl) already out there Femme has got our attention. Now it’s time that she got yours. 
 
Fans of everyone mentioned above you have to check her out! *she's a little like Peaches too
 
And cyber sleuths help me out with getting a list of back catalogs together

Really told myself I'd ignore her, but now that I'll be seeing her live in October, I guess I have to get into her stuff. :\

Yeah same, I can't be 'that guy' who has no idea who the opening is.

I don't have anything from when she went by Dimbleby & Capper in 08-09

I'm starting to get stuff from Ultraista from 08-12

I'm still trying to find live links for some of the Femme stuff because I don't buy anything  :hooker:

 

Updated list of available songs as Femme:

 

Educated
Double Trouble
Heartbeat
Daydreamer
Who's That
Fever Boy
Respect (Aretha Franklin cover)
Sophisticated Boom Boom (Shangri-La's cover)
Ring My Bell (Anita Ward cover)
Vogue (Madonna cover)
 
edit: Hold off on downloading the last 3, it's part of a Covers EP she's releasing once she posts the track from the 90s

Listened and:

 

Educated USE

Double Trouble DO NOT USE
Heartbeat USE
Daydreamer USE
Who's That WHERE IS THIS?
Fever Boy DO NOT USE
Respect (Aretha Franklin cover) JUST OKAY
Sophisticated Boom Boom (Shangri-La's cover) JUST OKAY
Ring My Bell (Anita Ward cover) JUST OKAY
Vogue (Madonna cover) JUST OKAY

 

But maybe I have to already be into an artist to hype over covers, you know...

 

EDIT: How much we betting on @@Born To Die having some extra tea on this bitch...

Fever Boy is good as fuck, excuse me?

 

also Who's That was on Amazon or iTunes, looks like it was pulled but someone put it on SC 

 

and yes, why do you think I have BTD in these threads. He's a sleuth at artists like this

 

Sirens and Bring It Back Round were on her SC but got pulled and I can't find them and I don't want to message last.fm users but I will

I see I'm already bringing in that controversy :tina:

 

I don't suppose you got any of these songs in good quality?

 

Also why do I love all these features more than her solo songs
