Natalia Kills has been quite the busy lady lately. Where to begin?
First of all, the singer just premiered the video for her delicious, slow-burning buzz single from earlier this year, “Activate My Heart.” The grainy, slightly seizure-inducing footage finds Ms. Kills bathing in dark blue and orange light, playing like an early ’80’s sci-fi flick (and with just the slightest touch of Grace Jones‘ clip for “Love Is The Drug.” Mmm.) I love it!
Speaking of videos, Natalia’s also just wrapped up the second set of videos for the singer’s self-scribed, self-directed web series, Love, Kills XX. Need a refresher on the storyline? you check out the entire first series right over hurr.
Next, the Cherytree vixen is officially hitting the road again! Natalia Kills will be headed ’round North America in Spring of 2011, opening for Robyn once again. For a full listing of dates, check below the cut!
And finally, a track I haven’t posted yet: The Penguin Prison remix of “Zombie,” which is actually one of my favorite Kills remixes I’ve ever heard.
The electro-pop prince’s smooth, disco-tinged synthesizers and grooving guitars provide the perfect compliment to Kills’ chilly vocals. How nice to hear two of my most anticipated acts of 2011 come together on one song!
There we go. Hopefully all this will keep you going ’til 2011!
The Perfectionist will be released in Spring of 2011. (iTunes)
