Scandi girl Kill J makes electro-pop about the pains of being a teen, pitched an octave higher than your average bemoaning youth with sugared synths.

You know when you spend a while on your party look, you’re feeling fabulous and no-one notices your new dress? We’ve all been there. Kill J has even written a song about it. “I got my new dress on \/ You haven\u2019t noticed \/ My feet are locked to the floor,” she sings on “Cold Stone”, finally someone’s put these emotions into words with a beat we can dance to, Julie Aagaard then puts it bluntly, “I want to go home”.<\/p>\n

With all the sweet falsetto’s favoured by 2015’s darlings, the girls of PC Music, Kill J does things a little less sickly with drum machine beats that wouldn’t be out of place amongst a chart-filled playlist on any dance floor. “Cold Stone” might be a portrait of the artist as a young girl, of her former self, but we’re all still bitter about those days too. Citing the track as her own take on bubblegum pop and an ode to “the imperfect and maladjusted person”, we can only guess what Aagaard could imagine up about perfection. After reassessing our wardrobes and styling ourselves on her girl gang depicted in her new video, we quizzed Aagaard on her new track, classical training and journalistic background.<\/p>\n
