Dear lord I am so happy to have Natalia Kills back with new music. Her debut "Perfectionist" has been a constant part of my musical rotation since even before it's US release, so you can imagine how hungry I've been for more. Late last year she released a promo single titled "Controversy", but nothing had come of the project until a week ago, out of the blue, she started promoing hard a new single called "Problem", the lead single for her second studio album "Trouble".
My thing with this single is that it's not exactly something we haven't heard from her per-say, but it is something we didn't hear much of on her debut. This single follows more in line with one of her first released tracks "Zombie" focusing more on slow pulsing beats driven by dark and brooding lyrics. Gone is most of the techno-pop we've been hearing from her over the past two years and in it's place is hard rock with a hard focus on drums and guitar.
The song's lyrics focus on her persona of being a hard chick. She claims to be a good girl, but her rep shows that she is nothing but a problem. The self mockery makes for an interesting track, especially juxtaposed to the back track's edgier rock style.
While we can't really base an entire album based off of one track (again I bring up "Zombie" being the odd one out on her debut album "Perfectionist"), but I think this, combined with promo track "Controversy" -- which is reportedly confirmed to be on the new album -- show a definite shift in focus as far as her spectrum of music goes.
There is no official release date for her new album "Trouble", but for now, hold yourself over by buying "Problem" on iTunes.
