Amongst the, what seems like, never ending list of new electro artists to hit the scene this year, there is one girl that seems to have managed to break away from the synthesiser. Alex Roots, left school at 15 to pursue a music career and is now here, one year later with her debut single Fake.
And it's awful. The punk, Queen inspired track falls flat on it's face and comes across more Amy Studt than Freddy Mercury. The lyrics are childish and amateur sounding. "Why can't you be that nasty girl is front of me instead of your little act!" she chants to the guitar rift.
For what is supposed to be her breakthrough single, the song does little to show off her vocals, which I assume must be something special because she clearly hasn't been signed for her amazing song writing ability.
To be fair to this girl, she is only 16 and is doing her best to stick to her guns amid the sea of electopop. Perhaps given time she could mature into something special. But at the moment, she has a lot of work to do.
STAR RATING: 1 out of 5
