Playing Catch-up: New Politics - A Bad Girl in Harlem

I bought this album after going to the q87.7 PIQNIQ because I really enjoyed the live show and the music.

If you like indie pop, this album is really freaking good!



If there's a good way to sum up this album, it takes all of the mistakes that Owl City makes and corrects them.  New Politics pulls off what they do really well.

The drawback of this album is that there's a little bit of filler in the middle but the album starts and ends strong.  Overall, a solid album.

The album is primarily known for the single "Harlem."  However, if you listen to the song "Berlin," you will probably find yourself listening to that song more than "Harlem" since that one isn't beat to death on the q87.7.  Actually, I might go as far as to say that "Berlin" is a better song than "Harlem."  In my opinion though, it's a close call.

The album opener "Tonight You're Perfect" and "Stuck on You" are also good listens.

If you like "Harlem" this album is definitely worth checking out.  I'll leave the rest of it for you to explore on your own.
