Talk about leaving the best until last. This December Santa has delivered a pop package in the form of Chlöe Howl that's more than enough to fill your musical stocking.
"You don't even know if I'm the right sex do ya?". *pow*
"Fuck your no strings... I hope I have twins". *bam*
Part Lily Allen part Adele, Howl's vocal is laden with attitude, spitting out sweary lyrics at her player partner with a London twang and infectious personality. She's accompanied by electro-pop production that fizzes and sparkles - contemporary yet fresh, with a nod to Blue Monday in the drum breakdown. No Strings is the very definition of a pop banger and, at just 17, Howl's future is brighter than a Christmas star.
4/5
