Remember how revelatory and entertaining Lily Allen's comedy cockney charms were when she first released LDN and Smile back in 2006? Five years later, three-piece StooShe take to the saucy, heavily accented formula with aplomb to deliver the hilarious, irresistible Betty Woz Gone.
Plastered with F-words aplenty and feisty kiss-offs, Betty Woz Gone manages the rare feat of not only being intensely funny, but also being a rather good bit of R&B/pop. StooShe are in many ways an anti-girlband - three girls, yes - but so far removed from any of their contemporaries that they exist solely in their own sphere of influence, free to come up with bonkers delights like this.
The cartoony lyric-video is a must watch, simply for the fact it spells out every punch and upper-cut of the track's deft worldplay. As the band's press release says of them StooShe 'swear, they talk about sex, they wear weird clothes' - it sounds like a pretty promising formula to us.
With an album's worth of tracks already in the can - including In-Bred City (a real track name, no lie) - we can't wait to hear more from this colourful threesome.
Betty Woz Gone is available to download on iTunes now.
