Once upon a time Sunday Girl was simply a Blondie song and Jade Williams was an anonymous girl working in a pet shop every Sunday with people who couldn’t remember her name. Thus Sunday Girl was born. Now she’s being heralded as the new Ellie Goulding, making a name for herself going under her old alias. Ironic, isn’t it? My how things have changed. It must be tough for a gal trying to make it as a singer/songwriter/synth type when every other girl out there with a penchant for electro pop is doing the exact same thing (and you can find interviews with them in back issues of Spindle). “There’re so many girls out there, so it’s really hard to actually make a dent.” While at some point the winds will likely change again and we’ll be talking about girls who take their cues from The Runaways and The Slits, for now the muses are smiling on the chicks on keys. Sunday Girl is another pretty face in a world awash with like minded and sounding pop sweethearts. In this world, all that you can do is get your EP remixed by a big shot producer (Diplo, thank you) and find another one to help you out with your upcoming debut album (Tim Elliot, you say? Of Ladyhawke and Kylie? Atta girl).
