When we listened to Mia Dae’s debut single ‘Break you first’ back in June it was immediately evident that she’s got balls – well, metaphorically speaking at least – and knows how to look after herself; and that was evident from the title alone.
Sometimes you’ll hear a debut like that but then the follow up track disappointingly fizzles out.
Not so with Ms Dae (her name is Mia Dalager but the artist name gives her a slightly Chinese persona that suggests she might have sparred with Jackie Chan or appeared in a Tarantino film wielding a Samurai sword.
That first song was about getting even with a guy who reckoned he could break her heart, by getting in first and breaking his.
In this one, ‘My next mistake’, she shows her softer side and deals with surrendering yourself to physical attraction and entering into a passionate relationship even though you already know that it probably will lead to heartache. That in the end, it will just be another mistake.
Is this with the same guy, Mia? You need to move on, love.
You always know what’s coming when the song starts off sounding like it was recorded in another studio, with the door shut, as both the singles do. That it’s going to explode and that’s just what happens.
But this time it’s in a different way with a piece of classic, fast picked math rock guitar, which repeats throughout. The chorus is powerful and catchy and kudos to the rhythm section who might be John Paul Jones and John Bonham.
In fact the entire production is so classy that (and no disrespect intended to Denmark) I could easily believe this is the product of top US session musicians as well as a star singer.
As for Mia, the last time out I compared her to Suzi Quatro and Kim Wilde. I’ll add Joan Jett into the bargain this time.
In fact she could probably start up another 80s revival with songs like this.
To paraphrase her strapline, you’ve never met a girl like Mia.
This lady will make waves in the rock music business, trust me. And I can’t see her making many mistakes.
