ZOWIE is the reincarnation of gritty thrash-pop fem-bot Bionic Pixie.
I, for one, mourned the hiatus of Bionic Pixie and assumed that she had accomplished her mission on earth and embarked on an intergalactic adventure in search of a new, extra-terrestrial audience to enrapture. Needless to say, I was rather excited when I noticed ZOWIE popping up all over the place looking and sounding hotter than ever.
ZOWIE says, "Bionic Pixie is the toaster, and ZOWIE is the terminator", oozing confidence that her transformation is a vast improvement. Embracing her musical evolution ZOWIE has adapted into a new species, while still retaining the dominant traits of Bionic Pixie. It's still raw pop music infused with a post-punk attitude, it's still futuristic and sonically diverse, and her style is still tilted towards wearable art, if not slightly more sexy. But, ZOWIE is undefinably different.
Her latest track 'Broken Machine' tiptoes a thin line between bubblegum pop and well... conventional pop. It's like nothing we've heard from her work as Pixie, and transports you back to when Cyndi Lauper was the disco queen. It's not an insult - I love pop! But, fans of the old may not be so down with new. However, don't base your judgment on 'Broken Machine' alone. The teaser video below features ZOWIE's forthcoming single and it is f.r.e.s.h.
RAC (Remix Artist Collective) did quite a delicious remix of 'Broken Machine' morphing it into a club-ready nu-disco time machine.
