New music: Fallulah – He'll Break Up With You When Summer Comes
You get dumped. You write a song about it. So why doesn't
Fallulah sound more angry?  This year has already given us some
profound and thought-provoking lyrics, from Carly Rae Jepsen's
"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number,
so call me maybe" to Flo Rida's haunting "You just put your lips
together and you come real close, can you blow my whistle baby?"
But sometimes you need to strip away all the complexities and
get right to the point, which is exactly what 27-year-old Dane
Fallulah (or Maria Apetri to her friends and family) does on the
excellent He'll Break Up With You When Summer Comes. Midway
through the almost funereal-paced ode to the death of a
relationship, Fallulah laments:, "You motherfucking asshole, you
make me bitter and ice cold," as drums patter and strings sigh
in the distance. Perhaps the saddest thing about it all is the
fact that there's no anger in her voice as she sings the words,
just a slight shrug
