French Wishing: Soko


New year, new project. Songs by girls, not sung in French. But oh, how great they would sound if they were. First up: Alex on I'll Kill Her by Soko.

A new year, a new French beauty. Last year we were drooling all over import-Frenchie Uffie, this year Stéphanie Sokolinski from Bordeaux stole all our hearts. If she whispers in our ears with that husky, squeaking voice and zat 'eavy Vrench accent, we're off to dreamland. Under her Soko moniker she released five songs so far, I’ll Kill Her is the key track. It's about that blonde bitch that stole her boyfriend. How stupid can you get? How can you trade darkhaired stunner Stéphanie, actress and singer, for some broad? Oh, how right Soko is when she sings: she’s a bitch you know, all she’s got is blondeness, she’ll dump your arse for a model called Brendan. Soko can thank her carreer to the whole affair, the dimwit ends up empty-handed. New song ‘I’ll never love you more’ is half-whispered. But, all in English. Soko's new-found self-esteem would've been so much more eloquent and convincing if it were in French. Still, nobody can resist Soko.
