Pop Goes The World: Meet NONONO, Say Lou Lou, Laura Jansen, Ginny Blackmore & Astrid Smeplass
Say Lou Lou — “Fool of Me”
I’m doubling up on international clout with Say Lou Lou, a duo who split their time between Australia (home of great pop) and Sweden (home of great pop). It’s no surprise, then, that their new song “Fool of Me” is, well, great pop, sad and beautiful: It’s dreamy and soaked in ambient noise, but the melody is sweet and clear, with Australian singer Chet Faker‘s crisp vocals providing a nice counterpart to the girls’ lush harmonizing. Most notably, there’s a note of anguish in the girls’ chorus that’s just perfectly realized. Job well done.
