About the artist
Kirsten DeHaan has stormed onto the indie music scene by releasing Conform under her own label SirLady Records in 2004. Being compared to U2 & Nirvana with a touch of Belly , Kirsten personally pushed her music to MTV , and over 150 radio stations in the first few months of its release. In addition to releasing her work, DeHaan hosts a weekly webcast in honor of the troops, and has created a series of music launches, entitled the New York Indie Rock Launch into New York City. The event is in honor of celebrating the city's influential urban rock scene while featuring herself alongside some of New York's top independent rock artists and promoters.
Its clear that fans have also took notice of DeHaan's work and message, when she received more than 1 million downloads since 2006. In turn, SirLady Records recently signed with Grooveshark , the up and coming p2p file sharing community which is today's version of a combined myspace and itunes community.
In addition, Platinum Blue- a product of My Music Science , a contemporary, digital analysis research company, tested Russian Roulette from her latest EP 'Under the Richter Scale , and found its hit potential and rating quality in the same category of James Blunt's Beautiful , and Hey 'Ya , of Outkast.
MTV - Kirsten's singles Commotion and Saved from 'Conform' recently aired on several of MTV's hit reality shows including, Made and My Super Sweet Sixteen .
Blog Critics - Jon Sobel
DeHaan, is a nineties-style punk-pop dynamo. Her new 3-song EP is drawing comparisons to Belly and U2, which is fair enough, but her live set is rawer and more punked out. This dualism may simply be in the nature of the pretty, driven, biker-haired Indianan-turned-New Yorker, or it may be smartly planned - or both. In any case, it makes her recorded music potentially radio-friendly in more than one circuit - grown up Gen-Xers, college rock, maybe even the Avril LaTween set. A combination of talent, personal intensity and looks might soon turn Kirsten DeHaan into a major indie player...
Lyrics
RUSSIAN ROULETTE
Verse 1:
Why should I fall apart when I’m trying to stay alive
I’ve been waiting my whole life, to have all which is uncontrived
Is it me or do you agree, the world’s just playing jeopardy
Look around it’s the same old sound, whispers whose next in town
Chorus:
And I’m screaming cause no one’s listening
To our children whose eyes are watching
Oh we’re defining what’s worth living
Should be deceiving or should we be giving
Oh I’m begging for a little
Tag:
Lovemaking, Earth Shaking
Lovemaking, Earth Shaking
Won’t you please
Verse 11:
So here we are playing Russian roulette just to fill the wallet
Will it take another attack for us to realize the impact
Watching TV simply shows all this misery
I know my own past and so finally at last
Chorus:
And I’m screaming cause no one’s listening
To our children whose eyes are watching
Oh we’re defining what’s worth living
Should be deceiving or should we be giving
Oh I’m begging for a little
Tag:
Lovemaking, Earth Shaking
Lovemaking, Earth Shaking
Won’t you please
Won’t you give it,
Won’t you give it,
Won’t you please etc..
