Billie Marten - In For The Kill


Wow. Just wow. Billie Marten’s stunning rework of La Roux’s big hitter is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine – if it doesn’t please check your pulse for you are surely dead. Taking In For The Kill from an energetic lusty synth pop pumper to the world of exquisite melancholy, the 15 year old singer from Yorkshire deserves every single piece of praise it’s possible to throw at someone for this. Haunting, bewitching, captivating and quite a lot of other superlatives that probably end in –ing, ladies and gentleman take note, this is pretty incredible.

If you’re going to Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend catch Billie Marten on the BBC Introducing Stage. Ribbon, her single (which we originally streamed in our introducing piece back in May here) is released on Sept 22nd. But for now just soak up this beauty.
