I don't know anything about french artist Soko. I just found this song and video by chance on the same day. I'm assuming that she was in a groups called The Sokos but he dumped her for someone else? It seems that way and judging by her songs she's hurt and pissed. I love her voice. If someone knows more about them feel free to school me in the comments.
I have no idea how I found Soko. I was just doing some random song-networking on iTunes and came across this evil little ditty. I am now driving my family crazy by listening to this ad nauseum. I can't decide what is so great about it - the nasty little lyrics, the way she says cinema, that line "all she's got is blonde-ness. All I know is the song has wedged its way into my craw and I can't get it out. peace.
Soko seems to have a famous boyfriend now, if the free rags are to be believed. Also doing a little tour. Which is enough excuse for me to post this excellent song. (There is a vid to be found elsewhere on Mog and in the usual places.)
Someone in the office down the hall sent me a link to Soko's MySpace page, which pointed me in the direction of this video, which is some French alt-folk-pop concoction, sort of a Gallic version of Kate Nash or Lily Allen. It's as minimal as can be, and cute as all get out. I love the way she says "I'll keeel her."
This track was posted by pinklaura.Lauras' only gripe was this; Next time, she should change the lyrics and just title it “I’ll Kill You”. fistula spume noticed Sokos' temperature when he made a post that prompted mktackabery to comment with this; Great stuff. Give me estrogen rage anyday!! I just found these links to a good UK Times article and a NY Times movie review that might fill in a lot of blanks. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/lif... MORE
Never has a murderous woman scorned ever sounded so lovely.
Soko - 'Ill Kill Her' MP3 ~~
Original Story: http://swill-merchant.blogspot.com/2008/08/hell...
This young french woman sings about wanting to kill the girl the guy she liked decided to date. While I generally don't think people should have the urge to kill people who didn't actually do anything, I like the sentiment of the song. Next time, she should change the lyrics and just title it "I'll Kill You".
