LYKKE LI: Breaking It Up

Swedish indie darling Lykke Li is here to break it up. This poptastic single straddles the indie pop credibility with production nods to Peter Bjorn and John's Björn Yttling and a booty shaking beat worthy of electro kid gyrations. The video is a smokey collection of Factory-esque ennui, moopy dancing and Warholing on-screen preening. From her excellent debut album, Youth Novels. Watch the music video (qt).

ANNIE: I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me

Norwegian electropop darling, Annie, is back with a second long player due shortly. The first is a sugary confection produced by Richard X and while lacks in feats of musical innovation, lands squarely in the sweet spot of top girly bubblegum pop. Directed by Sarah Chatfield in hypercolour make-up. Watch the music video (qt).

NOISETTES: Scratch Your Name

London trio Noisettes rock a punk pop aesthetic like a British Yeah Yeah Yeahs pissing pints and preening London street fashion. Lead singer Shingai Shoniwa is a statuesque vocalist and bassist who is easy on eyes will kittie on the lyric. If there hype machine gets its act together North American side, expect big things. If you one of lucky ones to have nabbed Coachella 2007 tickets, enjoy them live. Watch the music video (qt).

LILY ALLEN: Alfie

Cliptip's favourite mouthy anti-pop pop star has a new single and video as she launches states-side. Director Sarah Chatfield channels Jim Henson as she introduces Lily to Alfie, the pot smoking, masturbating slacker little brother puppet. Also, I have learned that Lily Allen is an accused Mockney, one who presents themselves as Cockney (working class East Londoners) in order to gain popular credibility. Watch the music video (qt).
