Pawws - Turnaround


Lucy Taylor aka Pawws may sing with a pretty and demure voice, but there’s something quite cutting underneath. Take new song Turnaround which is featured on the Kitsuné New Faces II LP. “I really hated you for a while,” she starts off, but then later comes the killer blow: “Met a boy, he’s pretty cute, takes my mind off all the shit you put me through, sort of looks a bit like you.” That’s how to make someone feel a bit mixed up about things.

No mixed feelings about the musical delivery here though, which is all soft focus throbbing synths and gentle washes of 80’s style electronics – reminding us a lot of much loved pop trio Saint Etienne. So whilst Lucy puts together the pieces of her broken heart, enjoy her misery, because she has turned it into a sweetly affecting pop song.
