Natalia Kills Is Still Hot! New Video + Album Announced

I have been craving some new Natalia Kills lately. I had been seeing a lot of demos flying around, but they all seemed to be songs rejected from her debut (like the amazingly catchy track "Hot Mess"). Knowing that Natalia is very much into creating a craft, I knew that she would come out with something that sounded new and fresh -- and she did.




Drink the koolaid. Don't drink the koolaid.

Leave it to the woman who brought us the song "Love Is A Suicide" to make a track called "Controversy". Despite the iffy name, the song itself is actually quite good. It's not your typical dark-pop track. It's fast paced, with experimental vocals, creating a combination that sets her far apart from the Gaga comparisons of years past. Ms. Kills has already proven she has the talent for music, and now she is pushing the envelope as far as what she can create.

The song is not as controversial as it would lead you to believe. It actually serves as a way to throw a bunch of shock words at the audience and see what sticks. The hook is a definite reference to the Jim Jones cult The Peoples' Temple with their famed mass suicide/murder via poisoned koolaid. The verses are composed of words thrown together such as "prostitution", "bath salts", and "non-believers" cause a juxtaposition of what one might find acceptable, while others find outrageous.

It appears as though this track is not the lead single for her new album, but a preview of what is to come. Whether or not the song is strong enough to be a true single remains up to the listener, but I can say with certainty I would rock this song out on my iTunes.

The new album is titled "Trouble" and has no release date. No other information on the album is given, but seeing as she had a very solid first album with a lot of backing and support from Cherry Tree (and like a thousand guest spots on every album made ever), it's probably safe to say this lady isn't bluffing. She'll deliver. But when?
