The Ladyhawke Music Video Collection
Phillipa “Pip” Brown better known by her stage name Ladyhawke, is a New Zealand solo singer-songwriter, playing all the instruments in studio and touring with a band. Ladyhawke named herself after the 80’s cult film starring Matthew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer of the same name. Ladyhawke is best known for the 2008 single “Paris Is Burning”, which she wrote after a visit to Paris.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and well Ladyhawke’s album cover sums up exactly what she is about. Nostalgia from the 80’s plays a huge part of her songwriting (note the headband, synth, and video game), citing ladies like Kim Wilde and Pat Benetar as influences. But Ladyhawke also relates to more current female performers such as Annie and Peaches (with whom she has worked on the remix project for her single “Paris Is Burning”).
Don’t confuse Ladyhawke with other electroclash bands that are more dark and gloomy - Ladyhawke is more upbeat and pop oriented, like if Kylie Minogue were cool and played rock music. Check out her bad ass video collection below:
