Human Pretending

We say

As the UK decides tonight (February 26) which song will represent us at Eurovision this May, this track from Fable could have been in the mix somewhere in a parallel universe. It genuinely was conceived as a bit of left-field subversive entry but turned down, we hear, for being just a bit too in-your-face. Actually though, that’s its charm. It was co-written and produced by Paul Hartnoll, one half of the legendary electronic dance music duo Orbital. Fable is an artist we’ve featured before with her great track Stranger In My Head. She’s committed to challenging the mainstream by shaking things up a bit, and has already had glowing reviews from Rolling Stone magazine and Q plus The Guardian, Line Of Best Fit, Clash and big love from the great Gary Numan. Now the Brighton-based 20-year old supports The Cult at their Brixton Academy gig tomorrow night (February 27). For now imagine how Eurovision audiences might have reacted to this full-on, uncompromising track channelling Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy and Bjork into three minutes of fractious fun. It's unholy and unruly but we love it.
