Perfectionist
Natalia Kills
Natalia Kills wants you to know that she’s a badass with a heart. She’s Gaga style without the dead Kermits, Lil’ Kim brutality without the incarceration, and an urban pop sound without the commercial sellout. Perfectionist might be her debut album, but she’s been in the public eye since age 9. She was featured in a long-running British radio drama and even auditioned in front of George Lucas for the role of Queen Amidala in the Star Wars prequels. After signing to Interscope’s Cherrytree Records, the British singer-songwriter released “Mirrors” in August of 2010, and everyone — the gays especially — sat up and took notice. Now on its third single, Perfectionist is an interesting mixture of sounds, including aggressive electro pop (“Mirrors,” “Zombie,”” Love Is a Suicide”), sweet radio jams (“Wonderland,” “Free,” “Kill My Boyfriend”), jagged rock (“Break You Hard,” “Acid Annie,” “Not In Love”), and aching ballads (“Broke,” “Heaven,” “If I Was God”). It’s a hodgepodge, but a good one.
