To get back into the swing of things (no euphemism intended) i decided that it was time to finally post something about a new fave of mine, the 'Dirty Talk'ing Wynter Gordon, someone who as she attempts to tackle/conquer the UK in the coming months will be talked about A LOT on WNHFT.
A few weeks back, Wynter released her debut album called 'With the Music i Die", the album itself is one of the best pop debuts Ive heard in a VERY long time and is something that is totally worth checking out (and buying?) but since this sure as fuck ain't no album review i was forced to pick just one track & make the track of the week. So... after much deliberation i picked what is sure to be 'Gold Digger' anthem of the century (move the fuck over Kanye, take a seat...) "Buy My Love".
The song itself lives up to what Wynter has previous released before the albums release (the amazingly epic 'Dirty Talk' and the fantastic 'Til Death') and in a sense carrys on the very clubby/sleazy feel most of her previous work with the likes of Flo Rida, The Freemasons and even her unreleased tracks all showcase. Its nothing totally original, but that doesn't make it any less of a fucking amazing track. Following a strongly sung verse with lyrics like "You can be my sugar daddy, ill call you ma honey honey" all carried with Wynters unique vocals - backed by an almost 'Japanese' esk electro beat - the song bursts into one of the most annoyingly catchy chorus's all year with some pretty 'interesting' lyrics like the following.
"Theres a million ways to show your devotion.
So many ways to sway my emotions
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeew
Don't. You. Hesitate. To. Buy. My. Love"
Needless to say, any song that is about finding 'yo self a sugar daddy and working that old sucker for all he's got automatically assures that this will be getting played on repeat for weeks upon weeks. The fact that the chorus is so downright bubbly and has a harikuku feel to it also helped this. While it may not be the most original or inventive song to grace our iPods in a post Keri Hilson "Pretty Girl Rock" world, the track fits its purpose. Its a fun summer single, a huge smash in the waiting and is another solid, indisputable reason why Wynter Gordon is fucking amazing.
Now then, Hew Da Fawk Mad? Your faves could never! etc. etc....
Best Bits: The 'Heeeeeeew' section in the chrous is sweet enough to make your teeth rot, but it is easily the most catchy part of the song.
Shit Bits: Its a bit short... thats it.... nothing else to fault
RATING: 5 out of 5
Wynter Gordon's debut album "With the Music i Die" is currently out in Australia and will hopefully be released in the UK/US within the foreseeable future. Listen to the sure-to-be single "Buy My Love" above and leave your thoughts in the comments below. Another hit for Wynter, or a little bit shit?
