A BAD GIRL IN HARLEM
New Politics

A Bad Girl in Harlem displays New Politics’ pop and rock sensibilities. There is a certain nostalgia and romance to it. It is rebellious, with a boy band streak. There’s also rap and a lot of punk music on the album. This is a very experimental first album; it’s got a little bit of everything. The second and fourth tracks on the album, “Harlem” and “Stuck on You” de- serve a special shout-out. The second track starts with the lyrics ‘I spend my money on the regular miracles’ and instantly gets you listening. Where “Harlem” is very punk-ro- mance, “Stuck on You’ is mushy” in the best way possible. The Danish band leaves no stone unturned in making you dance to both punk and pop music.
