From the seventeen year old daughter of King Khan and her debut album from last year Planet Enigma. It's a must hear record, as simple as it could possibly be, drawing on all kinds of goodness, Lee & Nancy, Mo Tucker fronted Velvet Underground, Sixties Girl Groups, Jonathan Richman, Moldy Peaches, Cat Power. She's been doing this for quite a while since she was kissed as a baby by Iggy Pop and made her first recordings when she was only six so it should come as no surprise that the record is so good. It's as unadorned and pure as you could ever want, just Saba Lou and acoustic guitars with the occasional backing vocal from dad or the most minimal of studio effects. Nine originals and a deeply haunting version of Nature Boy. Recorded at her father's studio in Berlin between 2016 and 2017, it's a classic example of Rock and Roll naivety, and why sometimes it's best when things are stripped to the absolute bare essentials!
