Sunday Girl – Stop Hey
aaamusic | On 14, Feb 2011
The past few years have seen a host of strong female artists emerging with edgy pop tunes that have proved that both gender and genre are capable of producing cooler, quirkier, and dare I say better, tunes than ever before. Jade Williams a.k.a. Sunday Girl corroborates her position in this group with her latest release Stop Hey.
The track is infectious without being overpowering; it is effortlessly cool with a dash of syrupy sweetness and a sour twist of electropop that can be felt in the synths that drive the tune. The song emits the chilled out vibe of artists such as Goldfrapp although it is perhaps not quite of the same quality.
Stop Hey is an impressive effort and slots nicely into an established genre, however, there is something missing from this release and Williams will need to find a way of defining her own individual sound if she wants to set herself apart from the artists she currently seems to emulate.
