Release Date: Out Now
I’ve spoken a lot in the past
about the conveyor belt of talent coming out of Sweden at the moment but
Stockholm’s Rein (aka Joanna Reinikainen) just hit the emergency stop button on
that conveyor belt and set fire to the factory. Rein’s new single, ‘C.A.P.I.T.A.L.I.S.M.’
is a pain in the ass to type but it’s completely worth it when you get to the
track but brace yourself for the smack around the face that comes in the first
few seconds. Sure, the booming synth bass and rib cage shaking beat transports
you to a grimy, underground club with sex happening in every dark corner and
disorientation high on the agenda. But then the lyrics take this club to a
political place, more specifically a really angry political place. When Rein
sings “We are the slaves of money” she sounds like the bratty kid Roxette would
never admit to duetting with the Prodigy but then there’s the pop sensibility
of M.I.A., Madonna and Rihanna at their most provocative in here as well. At
two and a half minutes this is sexy punk dance with a political message – I really
don’t think I need to say any more.
