Emerging: Bertie Blackman
Nov 13, 09
We are seriously consumed today with the voice of the New South Wales, Australia siren Bertie Blackman, whose cooey calls are straight heroin to addicts of smart, stylish electro pop without feeling even a slight bit of guilty pleasure syndrome. The girl and her boys in the backing band create organic, pepped-up, honest, sultry lines of genius melody and heart-stopping sonics. Girl is huger than most in her native continent, but something itches us into thinking that 2010 will be her year to cross over oceans to European and North American dominance. Blackman's third album, Secrets & Lies, came out this year and the sugary pop of "Byrds Of Prey" gets the dubbed-to-death-and-back-to-life treatment from the UK's Marco Del Horno, no stranger to getting his edits into our hearts.

Godspeed!
