Now hear me out, Chris isn't a Britney or a Gaga. She is something totally different in that, where B&G gun for the cameras and are pulling their legs over their heads, Chris is ever-so-slightly jutting her right shoulder forward and aloofly vogue-ing with her lazily dropped jaw, as if she is stunned by her own lack of emotional investment... All the while, she is styled remarkably beautifully for someone who is still so wet behind the ears. Although professionally, and with regard to her creative team, she is not 100% ready for world domination (Her website and online presence leave much to be desired and her image is still somewhat misguided), her style, sound and allure are undeniable. She has a dark, sparkly neo-disco appeal and, in terms of marketability, a unique beauty that meshes well with that. She executes her vocals with a lovely and breathy ease as she gazes confidently, with a strange and youthful delusion, at the camera. The production of her music is tight and clean and her accompanying music videos respectfully fall in line, showing clear respect to the fact that the music video is, once again, a way to assess one's value in the pop music hierarchy. There is enough experimentation in the music and video to let her stand out, but not so much as to draw comparisons to Gaga. It's as if Fever-era Kylie was corrupted by Supernature-era Goldfrapp, took a Xanax, bought a projector, a smoke machine and some laser machines, and made a pop single. To some of you, this might sound terrifying... but to a pop music junkie like myself: pure delicious disco-pop bliss! Enjoy Chris's video for 'So Lonely' below.
