 | Beleaguered pop star Natalia Kills is back with new music fronting the new collective, Cruel Youth, that counts her husband Willy Moon as part of the line up. The star who now likes to be referred to as Teddy Sinclair faces a bumpy road towards pop redemption after her criticism of a contestant on the New Zealand X-Factor went viral. +30mg, her new EP features vocals that are brassier then before and music that is truer to her artistic self, more similar to the rock stomp of her second album Trouble, then her electro gagged Perfectionist. I might even go as far as to say she channels the late and great Amy Winehouse. |
The 7 track release has gotten praise from Vogue, which occasionally errs towards obscure intensive thought pop such as that of Petite Meller. This time they have it completely right. The music is fresh and the lyrical content stays true to the brand Natalia Kills has built for herself.

My personal favorite is “Diamond Days”. Tragic and regretful, the chorus goes “The diamond days are gone.” It features an accompanying music video. The singer is covered in all that vintage glamour and her nipple revealing dress shows why Rihanna and her got along well enough to write “Kiss It Better”.
