I’ll Kill Her – SoKo
I’m several months behind on posting this one, but in case you never heard it somewhere else, this is probably the best stalker song I’ve ever heard. It starts so pretty and tender and you really feel for her, and then suddenly she’s rolling out: “If I find her, I swear I’ll kill her.”
And she’s got that delightful French accent and a pacing that adds to the sense that she’s seriously got a screw loose somewhere.
And how awesome a verse is this:
She’s a bitch you know, all she’s got is blondeness
Not even tenderness, yeah she’s clever-less
She’ll dump your ass for a model called Brendan
He will pay for a beautiful surgery, because he’s full of money
They sure don’t write ’em like that anymore.
Anyways, I know basically nothing about SoKo except that you do not want to get in her way, and if you live in Europe they’ve got some shows over the next month or two. And, they appear to have just released an EP, but my French is not the best, so I can’t really tell you more than that.
Update: And I’m an idiot. If you scroll down on their myspace page, they’ve got an English version of the EP announcement. It’s on iTunes (5 songs for 4 bucks…not too bad), and they’ve got another one coming out soon.
