U R My Girl , Released: December 14th, 2009
Kiss In Cities are a duo made of Laura Marden and Joe Cross. They live in a red-brick town-house in Manchester, where under the stars of one England’s most diverse musical cities they make synth drenched power-pop. Listening to them is like reading a diary on a packed dance-floor.
Their début single 'U R My Girl' is out on December 14th and it sounds like the best 80's pop song never made combining Joe's glossy production with Laura's unrestrained vocal to wonderful effect. An instant anthem for a generation about girls who feel short-changed by the implausible feminisms of Beyonce or Britney, while at the same time also a gritty and sincere ode to a sister. The accompanying B side is a sumptuous slice of pop called Satellites.
Kiss In Cities strive for the twin goals of perfect pop and emotional integrity. It’s difficult to pull off but they’re giving it a heartfelt shot. The relationship has been fraught, to say the least, relationships within bands generally are, Marsden’s often unguarded, explicit vocal pitches itself against Cross’s pop showmanship making listening to Kiss In Cities a necessity. You can taste the glitter, the conflict, the truth.
U R My Girl will be released on December 14th through Seven Sevens as a limited 7" and as a digital download. You can pre-order the single by clicking the link below
