Here’s the new single and video from Swedish pop duo, Kick, ‘Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl’.
The song excites us because it’s another production from those Godfathers of great scandipop, Pitchline (see also their work with Velvet, and the most recent singles from Magnus Carlsson and Alice Svensson, amongst many others). We’re huge fans of these guys and it’s always a pleasure to hear a new track that they’ve put their name to. ‘Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl’ features their typical style of synths, but has been adapted to suit Kick’s somewhat rockier attitude.
And the video excites us because it’s two hot young Swedish girls cavorting around what looks like an industrial waste dump, wearing only black panties and short leather jackets (which they keep pulling apart at the chest at sporadic points throughout the vid). In another shot, they’re wearing full length black dresses and walking along the beach. And then later on in the vid, just in case the first half wasn’t trashy enough, they’re both in a swimming pool, both topless. One Kick is covering her modesty with her hand, the other Kick is covering hers with ACTUAL PEARL NECKLACES.
It’s the little things like this that make us unconditionally adore pop music that comes from Scandinavia. Incredible.
