Jenny Berggren - Gotta Go (New Single)

Not as good as the Backstreet Boys' The Call, but its grinding bassline and meet-me-halfway accommodation of misty synths and a ferocious chorus-punch all leave me bruised and asking for more. 'Don't waste your time' is just gloriously sulky, I love it. I am not too bitter about what has become of her de-Basers (more on that soon) and frankly Jenny Berggren has never sounded more empowered. Sometimes getting screwed by two guys at the same time brings out the best in us.

Jenny Berggren Wants Some of Kylie's Stateside Action

I always knew Kylie's All I See video had changed the Rn'B genre forever, but who knew it would inspire Sweden's answer to Cher, Jenny Berggren to follow suit? Since it is now impossible to analyze a female solo artist's music video without comparing her to other women, I'll say that Cher, Siouxsie Sioux and Karen O are points of reference for my own enjoyment, but the best moment is where the once dowdy half of Ace of Base looks like the chubby girl from Alphabeat.



Two things do stand out though: her amazing cheekbones that would even be the envy of gay Eastern European porn stars. All I can say is what a treat it is to have one of the reasons I grew up to love music so much still releasing music and continuing to re-invent herself. The video is very simple, but slick and effective.

Good Luck Boys!

Ex-Baser Jenny Berggren stuns anyone with ears by releasing the best song she has sung on since Life Is A Flower, her debut single Here I Am. It's fucking brilliant isn't it?
