This first single epitomises the hyperactive teen girl and results in a tremendous style clash. It is undeniably pop with elements of cheesy rock and punk, but it also features new garage/hip hop idol Chipmunk and a dance remix. It all ends up a bit like Miley Cyrus being run over by a bus full of N Dubz.
If you look to Miss Coburn’s Myspace page you start to see why, 221 influences from Puddle of Mudd to Calvin Harris via Dolly Parton and Sting. But don’t panic, there are some decent bands as well. How one person can like all music indiscriminately is beyond me, and perhaps it is this refusal to disregard anyone that provides such a confused genre straddling début.
The video which features Daisy being crushed by a cupcake has already been picked up by 4music as one to watch, and will no doubt be thrown into a top ten place when it hits the charts. Daisy has a real future ahead of her. This has been decided by the powers that be. I can’t personally see her doing a Gaga-esque world takeover, but she will continue to make records like this that your younger sister (or camp older brother) like for a while yet.
