Like the antipodean equivalent of La Roux, Ladyhawke has ridden the blog swell, much like Bodhi rode massive swell before he get cancerfied, and has finally found herself firmly squished in the sparkling firmament of Australian radio pop.
With a swag (who decided that could be a collective noun?) of successful cross-over singles out this year, she’s got another track dropping on radio at the mo-mo called ‘Magic’.
I actually really disliked this track when I first heard the album, and to some extent I still do, but like any good pop song after you hear it enough you just kind of get it. You don’t enjoy it, but you get it eventually… kind of like pashing a chick with face herpes.
Remixes from everywhere-man-du-jour Burns, .com superstars Classixx, copyright lawyer Donnie Sloan and Radelaide threesome The Swiss.
It’s a big old bag of disco/howse infused, erm, magic. Here’s my two picks from the lot.
Ladyhawke – Magic (The Swiss Remix)
Ladyhawke – Magic (Classixx Version)
Check out the Donnie Sloan remix too.. it’s very tasty indeed.
Catch Ladyhawke touring around the shop very soon with support from The Swiss – dates on the Myspace

shes a New Zealander, not Australian just if anyone was wondering
“You get it eventually… like pashing a chick with face herpes”
I applaud your eloquence. Actually, The Swiss remix is actually kind of listenable, though I reserve the right to go right on hating Ladyhawke otherwise.
The Swiss are going to be massive.
