KitschMix’s Tracks of The Week – Little Boots, Taylor Swift, Die Antwoord, & Lorde

Little Boots – ‘Taste It’

An experimental track Little Boots (aka Victoria Christina Hesketh). Produced by Sparse, with alluring vocals – “can you taste it on your lips like liquorish?”

Taylor Swift – Blank Space

Die Antwoord – Ugly Boy

Newly released from ‘Donker Mag’ album, Die Antwoord‘s ‘Ugly Boy’ video features cameos from a star-studded line-up of fellow weirdos, like Jack Black, Marilyn Manson, Flea, Dita Von Teese, The ATL twins, Cara Delevingne, and, I’m pretty sure, Aphex Twin.

Lorde – Yellow Flicker Beat

I’m totally in love with this lady and her vocals. ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’ is part of the soundtrack to the latest Hunger Games film. With minimal hip-hop beats and strings attack the chorus, the tune is brilliant. Also, check out her quiff and outfits in the video.

All-star Treatment for New Die Antwoord ‘Ugly Boy’ Video ft. Cara Delevingne, Jack Black, Marilyn Manson, & Dita Von Teese

If there’s one act whose musical vision you don’t want to mess with, it’s Die Antwoord.

The ever-unapologetic South African rap duo has created their fair share of headlines since forming in 2008. Conflict with a major label over the release of second album ‘Ten$Ion’, homophobic slurs, a Twitter feud with a certain female pop megastar after the duo killed off a lookalike in video ‘Fatty Boom Boom’, accusations of copyright and the use of blackface in their film content are some of the controversies surrounding the group.

Compared with the ‘Insane Clown Posse’ and other satirical rap acts, Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er have heralded the rags to riches story with their representation of white trash ghetto rap in South Africa.

Their trademark sound is blending aggressive and chaotic hybrid of Afrikaans, Xhosa and English slang mixed with expletive-filled lyrics, early ’90s rave, rap beats, and provocative imagery of off-putting sexuality and shock thrills.

They now have released the video for their track ‘Ugly Boy’, from their recent ‘Donker Mag album’, and, you’re never going to believe this, but I really like it.

Its weirdness just gets better due to the fact it features cameos from a star-studded line-up of fellow weirdos, like Jack Black, Marilyn Manson, Flea, Dita Von Teese, The ATL twins, Cara Delevingne, and, I’m pretty sure, Aphex Twin.
