The Danish Mø, highly remembered by ‘Lean On’, publishes on May 16 her new album, ‘Plæygirl’. The title is not a tribute to Ladytron’s classic, although sometimes it will seem. You may remember that a couple of months ago we already recommend ‘Sweet’ with Biig Piig, ‘Who Said’ is the pop conversion of the Faver Ray/The Knife sound, and the theme that will close the album, ‘Wake Me Up’, which interpola the beautiful Avicci hit is also known.
Last Friday we met in “Ready for the Weekend” a fourth advance called ‘Keep Møving’ that we select as a song of the day today.
Without Rodeos, this Nick Sylvester production in which Harrison Smith Smith has also participated in The Dare, appeals to the most primary eighties instincts. The presence of The Dare and the love for the 80s in general, because the whole theme is soaked as classics such as Trans-X Video ‘.
Mø has explained in Dork that with this issue he wanted to laugh at his “infinite list of things to do.” Among them, in the letter are “having to go too far, have to be rich, and a rock star, have to have children and a great car.” He then adds: “Follow your heart towards darkness.”
On the path of radicalization, the chorus is introduced by a very Courtney Love cry that, in fact, even sounds as if Mø were vomiting on that list of obligations. It sounds up to 9 times in the recording if you wait until the last «Fade Out». The theme also speaks of “killing your idols and crashing the car”: even with all those synthesizers, it is one of Mø’s most punk issues.
