You may remember Miss Ladyhawke from singles such as 'Paris Is Burning', 'My Delirium', and 'Back of the Van', circa late noughties with upbeat pop vocals and fiery electro-tinged beats in the background. The New Zealand-based musician is now back with her second album, ‘Anxiety’, on Modular Records. As the follow-up to 2008’s debut album, Anxiety was produced by long-time collaborator Pascal Gabriel whilst Ladyhawke took on lead guitar, bass and drums on the single as well as her distinctive vocals. Having just released her comeback single ‘Black, White & Blue’, she gives us her recommendations here. Get an exclusive download of the Nile Delta remix of it HERE.
